What is the difference between Chrome and Nickel?

Chrome and nickel are two types of plating, and they come in different finishes. Both are a coating of metals which can be laid upon another metal. When applied on metal, they give a good shape of the surface of another element, and they are often used for decorative reasons. However, there are some differences between them. One of the major differences between them is that, when you apply Chrome on an element, it gives a kind of color that looks like a shining blue type of color, whereas when you apply nickel on another element, it gives a yellow color and at times it gives the whitish appearance.

The cool look on material with chrome coating is another difference between Chrome and nickel because nickel will always give you a warm tone or appearance. In terms of price, nickel is inexpensive, and that is why it is commonly available, whereas Chrome is expensive.
