This is NOT true. Color is determined by particle size, concentration and 
dispersion.

The particle size does NOT increase with concentration for ALL processes used 
to produce colloids. It generally does with the electrochemical processes 
commonly used by hobbiests.

Ionic silver is already dissolved silver. H2O2 does ionized silver particles 
and thus convert them into ionic (dissolved) silver.
