Metallic Dark Silver decoration colour?

There is a Metallic silver but no Metallic dark silver which is used in some more recent part decorations is it planned to be added?

Or is it worth using Metallic Dark Grey instead? Did that one ever get used for anything?

Metallic dark silver is used on 981pb459 & 982pb459, 98138pb474 and 3070pb392 as examples.

No, "Dark Silver" is LDraw code 87, Metallic Dark Grey. It is a paint or print, not a material.
I can't see "Metallic Dark Silver" used anywhere.

What Magnus said.

Lego's official name for the colour is "Titanium Ink" (ID 337), used since ca. 2010, exclusively for prints.

Please don't use Metallic Pearl colours (like 148 Pearl_Dark_Grey) for prints.

Also Pearl_Dark_Grey is discontinued since 2010. For modern parts you should use 316 Titanium_Metallic, which is darker and less greenish. Also this is basically the solid plastic counterpart to 87 Metallic_Dark_Grey.
