Just the fact that colloidal silver can be yellow speaks of a particle size that is much greater than the atomic scale of actual ions.

Often it is not yellow but clear, but made with the same process that also results in yellow CS, if only at lower current settings. This leads me to conclude that the particles are then smaller and thus don't interfere with visible light, but not as different a size as to be near atomic scale.

colloidal silver

if you want to make this stuff, maybe follow advice from the science journals:

Why. I have been making and using colloidal silver for over 16 years... I just got a new setup and seek to better understand the physics.

But the 1906 paper uses a high current method, while I have no access to the sciencedirect one... :-(
