The Problem with Metallic Colors

If my understanding of this is a misunderstanding then I'd greatly apprecate enlightment.

Here are some attempts to make a metal color with just RGB, as depected at Netscape at http://home1.netscape.com/home/bg/colorindex.html

Metal RGB according to Netscape
Color Name	R/G/B	Hex	BG/FG color sample
copper	184,115,51	B87333	### SAMPLE ###
gold	205,127,50	CD7F32	### SAMPLE ###
silver	230,232,250	E6E8FA	### SAMPLE ###

These metallics are, IMHO, lame. Anyone who happens to have samples of metalic looking GIFs that I might use for an example here are urged to email me.

A potential chrome metallic is http://isd.cme.nist.gov/graphics/backgrounds/chrome.gif, but unfortunately the image doesn't wrap properly (the edges show when used as a background).

Another metalic http://www.space.net.au/~jooste/art/others/backgrounds/ripplechrome.gif also falls short of my expectations but it wraps perfectly and looks cool. (So I'm using it as my screen background :-)

My exact idea of good metallic rendering is found at http://userpages.nkn.net/userpages-3d/chrome-icons.gif. Unfortunately this image is of the word "Icon" spelled out in chrome, so it cannot be used as a background.
