If you want to be pedantic, there is no such thing as a "color". There are light waves with a frequency that hit a highly non-linear detector (our eye) and what comes from that is analyzed by your brain to put a label such as "red".
What you see is different from what I see (not to mention that I am a daltonist) - and none of these are standardized.
We are used to colors and this is why we label them.
So "chrome" is absolutely a color, like "salmon" and "fuschia" is, or "gold" or "brownish"
I'm referring to a "color" in the product customization sense of the word.
You could buy a red toaster or a blue toaster, and you'd have every reason to think that it's different paint or dyes, but an otherwise equivalent product made of the same underlying materials.
Whereas stainless steel partly refers to a small range of colors, but mainly to the properties of the material.
In the context of kitchen appliances stainless steel products are almost always of higher quality and durability.
As an example: You can find stainless steel fridges, and cheap fridges, but no cheap stainless steel fridges.
If you were offering me a red or stainless steel fridge sight unseen I'd always go for the stainless one, even if I much preferred red to stainless as a look.
I could always glue a red MDF panel to the door, but the advantages of "stainless" would extend to other premium aspects of the fridge.
> Red–green color blindness: This form of colorblindness is sometimes referred to as daltonism after John Dalton, who had red-green dichromacy. In some languages, daltonism is still used to describe red-green color blindness.
From the search results that popped up, the word "daltonist" seems to be used in Romanian, Serbian, and Bosnian languages.
