After a couple of years of knowing him I finally had a word for the color of his hair.

It is gunmetal silver, black and gray, shiny and shimmery, watery and cold. It sways like seaweed in a tender surf.

“Quicksilver,” he replied.

his is more strangely silver-black. yours is more cloud-silver, softer. but yes, i'm a fan of all of it. everyone's hair should lose its color.
