Does copper migrate through silver?


Today I removed my ACME silver plated cryo receptacle from more than 20 days' burn in through my refrigerator. I noticed the silver was more 'orange' in color, as if copper had mixed with it. Is this possible or just an optical illusion?

My understanding is yes it will. That is why siver plated copper is often first plated with nickel of some other metal. The issue becomes the nickel, how does it effect the signal?
