Morphology

silverish = silver (transparent) = silver + ish

The productive adjectival suffix '-ish' combines with 'silver' to mean 'somewhat like or tinged with silver', a straightforward derivation.

Etymology

Silverish is made from silver, the metal and its colour, plus the ending -ish, which means 'like' or 'kind of'. So silverish means 'looking a little like silver' or 'having a slightly silver colour', which is why we use it for hair, paint, or shiny scales.
