Silver key red is a key and reward from the Shades of Mort'ton minigame. To obtain it, the player must kill an asyn shade and then burn its remains on a pyre. The key may be used to enter the Shade Catacombs and then open the correctly coloured chest. It will open a silver-framed chest with a red lock. This type of key can be used to open any door within the tombs other than gold.

Unlike most items, this key will not despawn and cannot be taken by other players for 5 minutes when initially dropped from shade remains, similar to other keys from the Shades of Mort'ton minigame. When dropped by the player, they will despawn and become visible to others at the normal rate.
