Different proteins stain produce different colors when stained with Silver staining, although no one to my knowledge has provided the reasoning for this, this stain is not quantitative (some attempts have been done to do so?)and thus the darker the spot or band is does not mean that there is more protein or an indication of high concentration. Some proteins color yellow, orange, brown, dark brown etc…
I hope this information is of help to you, good Luck!

boss greying of gel is due to agno3 , wash ur gel proreply before adding sodium carbonate and just stop the rxn when u see ur bands appearing, this should be quick

Hi,
could it be that you´re dealing also with some metalo-Proteins and the silver is not able to stain them of course of the other metall´s around, think I read something in that direction... but I´m really not sure about that. Good luck Brandiy
