Silver chloride turns grey due to decomposition reaction.
This decomposition reaction is called photoletic decomposition.
2AgCl gives Ag + Cl2

What happens when silver is exposed to sunlight?
When light shines on the silver chloride/albumin emulsion the redox reaction happens more quickly than it does in the dark. Imagine now a sensitized sheet of paper, half of which is exposed to bright sunlight and the other half of which is covered up with an opaque card. The silver ions in the exposed area will be reduced to black metallic silver in a matter of minutes; the silver ion under the card will remain colorless or white. Imagine now that you remove the opaque card; what will you see? The half of the paper that was in the light will be black and the half that was in the dark will be white. This reversal of light and dark is referred to as a negative image. But as soon as you remove the opaque card from the sensitized paper, the formerly unexposed white half will begin to turn black. In order to fix the image, we need to remove the light-sensitive silver chloride. Just washing it in water won't do the trick because silver chloride is insoluble in water. The earliest photographic fixer consisted simply of a concentrated solution of sodium chloride, ordinary table salt: While certainly convenient, this reaction does not go very far; only some of the silver chloride is dissolved and the rest remains on the paper. More effective than salt is ammonia.
What is silver argent?
silver argent is in spray paint but mostly silver and grey
Is Mercury Blue or Silver?
mercury is a grey silver colour.
What is the precipitate color of silver nitrate and barium chloride?
Silver chloride (AgCl) gives a white precipitate. Silver Bromide (AgBr) also gives a white precipitate, though it's a slightly more creamy white than the precipitate formed by AgCl. Silver iodide (AgI) gives a pale yellow precipitate.
What is the grey deposit when mixing platinum chloride covered with a zinc strip?
Potassium will surround the Zn So it's name will be ZnCl2
Why silver chloride gray in sunlight?
Silver chloride turns grey in sunlight because of decomposition reaction. this decomposition reaction is called photoletic decomposition. 2AgCl gives Ag + Cl2 (silver (silver) (chloride) chloride)
What happens when silver chloride is left in sunlight for sometime?
It turns grey in colour i.e., 2AgCl ------> 2Ag+Cl2
What happen when silver bromide is kept in sunlight?
it turns grey in color
What change in colour is observed when a silver chloride is left exposed to sunlight?
The colour will change into grey.
What are some other reactions that depend on light?
Some reactions that depends upon light are:Silver chloride turns grey in sunlight .This is due to the decomposition of silver chloride into silver and chloride by light.Silver bromide also decomposes like silver chloride.These reactions are generally called photo decomposition reaction .These reactions are also use in black & white photography.
Why does white siver chloride turn grey in sunlight?
i donot know
What happens when silver chloride is exposed to light?
The color become grey because silver chloride (AgCl) is slowly decomposed to silver and chlorine.

What is color of silver wire after chloride deposition on silver wire for the preparation of reference electrode?
The cholorided part will have a grey/purple to it. Some people describe it as a charcoal color.
What are the adaptations of desert holly?
Their leaves are sort of silver-grey to reflect the sunlight and not lose as much water. The salt on them makes the greyish colour.

What color is the Brooklyn bridge?
