Most of the metals are silver/grey.
Iodine (solid) is somewhat blackish, its vapour is violet (it does not have a liquid state as it sublimes to gas --- conversion from solid to gas directly);
Bromine is a red-brown liquid;
Chlorine is yellowish green gas.

Well, if you got prescott there's that big table with all the colours of anions and cations in Aq.sol. It ALWAYS comes in ATP (mostly 8-10 marks)
