OT: Color question

Does anyone have any good suggestions for hex codes to make up both a
color of silver and one for champagne????

Silver isn't a color as much as a surface treatment. Silver is reflective
grey. As you can't make a color reflective on screen, you either need to
pick a light grey, or use some photoshop imagery:

Champagne isn't really a specific color. It's typically just a slightly
reddish light-beige.

yes, it is typically a range of grays-- a gray made believable by
variations in the coloring that represent light reflecting... as on
silver metal

Whatever colors you use will vary from monitor and platform anyway, just
so you know...

If you show us an example of what you are trying to make silver (or
champagne), someone might be able to help you pull it off or at least
test the color.

C0C0C0 is the official code for silver (silver is a supported color name and
it uses that code), though it won't look silvery, like darrel said, when
it's flat.
As for champagne, try C2D2AE
