They actually come in a variation of colors, some fairly light colored.

You can try, but no, you can't.

Really , a little snark ? I know you don't believe in BB's and I'm pretty sure you know that I do . How do I know ? Because I have rolls of them, 1959 phillys all cobalt bluish grey that I bought from an old collector back in the early 60's because they looked so odd , I said to myself these suckers will be sought after someday . Many years later I read an article about improper annealing of 1958 and 1959 Nickels , Also a few 1955 were discovered . Later to be known as '' Black Beauty's ''
So I am confident I'm sitting on a nice cache of Critters .
Unfortunately I am not able to post photos .
