Yes it did, the pamor was very silvery/white

I believe pure nickel as a pamor will also look very silvery and white.
Jeff, correct me if i am wrong, but you seem to be speaking from a modern custom knife making perspective. I certainly do believe that higher percentage meteoric blades are possible to construct, but do you really think this is happening in the keris world?
