Silver Solder Closest in Color to Copper

Kent,
I am making some copper chargers for table use (no food contact). I want to solder some decoration and
would like to know what kind of silver solder like material will be closest in color to the
copper? I want the joint to be as inconspicuous as possible.
The Tin Man Respondeth:
Copper may be joined with Harris 15, a silver braze used with any silverbearing hard soldering flux. The color as buffed bright should match very well, although as tarnished it will show lighter than the copper.
