Color distinction between gold and silver scale red and white koi and five-color brocade carp

The so-called gold and silver scale red and white koi is the red and white scale of the fish with gold or silver metal feeling. This kind of colored scale is generally the most obvious in the back, when we look down, we can see its flash of light, gold and silver scales carefully gathered on the back is more beautiful.

The types of silver scales can be roughly divided into two types: scales showing silver highlights become "jade silver" or "pearl silver"; the other is that the silver parts of the scales become strips of light and become "Hiroshima silver" or "diamond silver".

Gold and silver scale red and white koi have no special requirements for erythema morphology. However, there are relatively high requirements for the quality of the silver scale itself and the overall collocation of the silver scale with the whole red and white color block.

The difference between gold and silver scales is due to the difference in the distribution of scales: if the scales are on red markings, they are golden; if they are on a white background, they are silver.

The scale distribution of gold and silver scale red and white koi must be neat and fine, spread and arranged, rather than scattered and without aesthetic feeling. Many rules of appreciation are common, such as the color of the white ground, the size of the erythema and the clarity of the edges.

Gold and silver scales are a special kind of red and white koi. Different from the two-stage red-and-white, covering red-and-white and other red-and-white types, which are simply distinguished by the shape of erythema, the scale luster gives gold and silver scales more dazzling and special ornamental value.
