And what size particles are creating this color and in what silver
concentration?

These words of wisdom are from "scientists" who are using conductivity
meters to determine silver content, cannot measure particle size, etc... You
have got to be kidding.
The color of Mesosilver has nothing what so ever to do with the color of
material the particle is made of as you suggest. Mesosilver absorbs visible
light at a wavelength of 400 nm. The apparent color is the complement of the
absorption wavelength. The absorption wavelength, thus the apparent color
could be made to be any color of the visible spectrum by slightly altering
the ionic species of the dispersant. Such a minor alteration of the ionic
species would alter the zeta potential and the thus the dispersion
properties and in doing so would change the apparent color but not change
the composition of the particles at all.
When the water is evaporated from Mesosilver what remains is a thin film of
metallic silver, not silver oxide. This rather easy experiment requires only
that one be able to recognize metallic silver when one sees it. Fill a 250
mL beaker half way with Mesosilver, cover to keep dust out, let sit until
the water evaporates.
As far as e-coli, the results of a properly designed challenge test put the
lie to Quinto's tests.
When an ionic product is tested using the same challenge protocol, the
results are barely indistinguishable. Here is a link to a challenge test
that include Mesosilver at 20.0 ppm and ASAP22 that was measured to be 22.3
ppm (a silver concentration 11.5% higher than the Mesosilver).

ASAP 22 is far superior at killing pathogens compared to Sovereign Silver 10
ppm because is has more than twice the silver concentration. The test
clearly indicates that the ASAP 22 produced virtually the same results as
Mesosilver. Yet Quinto would have us believe from his tests that his 10 ppm
product works and Mesosilver does nothing. Utter nonsense!
The Quinto tests lack the quality required for publication, their usefulness
being limited to presentation to lay people who can easily be fooled. This
is the same bogus science that brought us his TEM images of ionic silver.
