The "color" of a mirror is essentially whatever part of the spectrum it does not reflect. Polished gold is often used as a mirror material for lasers and has a yellow color.
Aluminum is another popular material for mirrors and has a silvery-gray because its reflectivity is relatively uniform in the visible band, much like silver

Depending on how, from what and when they are made.
Usually they are silver (not considering reflection), but very old mirrors can be brownish. I think, different additives could change colour as well (like Ni, Cu, Cd).

silver - mirrors are made by putting a silver backing made from Nitrate of Silver (or Aluminum is some cases) on glass.

I like that question. The best I can come up with is white, since if you sanded it down and took away it's reflective quality, that's what you'd get.
