Pale grey minced livers (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

silver

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pale grey' is the definition.
'silver' can be an answer for 'grey' (silver grey is a kind of grey). I am unsure of the 'pale' bit.

'minced livers' is the wordplay.
'minced' indicates an anagram.
'livers' with letters rearranged gives 'SILVER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for silver that I've seen before include "Medal for the runner-up" , "Twenty fifth anniversary metal" , "Silver of precious metal" , "Argent" , "See 1" .)
