I think the "metallic" describes the material,not the color. We call it chrome,just like plastic interior parts. But,only metal objects can be chromed and other materials use other processes to accomplish the same effect. Not trying to split hairs,just saying we all say "chrome" whether it's chromium plated or not. We also call polished stainless and aluminum trim "chrome" when it's not. Both materials can also be chrome plated,though
