It's silver color on the top and copper on the inside. Wondering if it's actually silver or aluminum.

There is a 99 % chance that it's 'tin' plated like almost all wires are.
 
But there are wires and cables that are;
a] Coax cables that has a copper plated steel center wire.  The cable TV installer's use them all the time.
b] Some cheap hi-fi wires & cables that are copper plated aluminum. They have brand names like 'RCA".
