I am working on an app that displays various colors for kids to choose from. So, we'll have a red, a blue, a yellow, etc. These are not real objects, just a small image (like the one attached) that represents a color.
They are all 600x600px squares.
I have been asked to include one for Silver, one for Gold, and one for Bronze (if possible), but to make them look more "realistic" (which I take to mean they need something besides plain RGB colors).
What I'm looking for is an approach to creating "realistic" swatches for these metallic colors. I realize this is likely a very broad category, and not being fluent with graphic design, I wonder if anyone can make suggestions to approaches. I will be fumbling through this with Inkscape. Any suggestions appreciated.

If you're working with flat color and not textures or gradients, this is not going to be perfect, as others have noted. However, you can suggest these metallic tones with the right color. If you go that route, the only thing that will make your intent clear is to label them.
Gold is a muted yellow, eg #d5a500 .
Bronze is a muted yellow orange, eg #a17419 .
Silver is light grey, eg #b7b7b7 .
You can use gradients for this. Below is a screenshot, but illustrator comes with quite a few metallic swatches by default.
