Some rubbish lighting during that sequence depending if the camera
decided to flash and the ambient light is fluorescent with a little
sunlight from a window sometimes and the state of the brass (filthy at
the start)
The brass is a pale brass as it is cast brass
picture PD1995 is cleaned brass with a (600 grit iirc) matte finish
ready for silver plating
pictures PD2000, PD2002 are after silvering and show a reasonable colour balance

This guy has written up the process of waxing, graining and silvering
http://www.davewestclocks.co.uk/silvering_clock_dials.htm

My set of pictures were mainly to document a particular dial I worked on
and the hole filling (rivet in new brass) and re engraving by hand (I
remember doing the engraving and hole filling)
Boss did the posts for the movement
Two of use shared the work on the dial and I cannot remember who did
the waxing and silvering
