Default Copper and silver - why the best conductivity?

Now someobody has to explain whey copper is red and gold is, well,
gold-colored.


Reflection and absorption.

Ah but aluminum reflects and absorbs light too - it does so

copper, that causes it to reflect more of the red. Something
special is going on there.
