Colour indicates the presence of silver particles. (It doesn't matter
what the color is... it could be yellow, grey, white, black or any
other possible colour). Particles contain large amounts of silver but
they are not conductive so they are not detectable or measurable by
any TDS, PPM or EC meter.
Particle formation begins immediately that you begin making a batch
but increases significantly as you get closer to the saturation point
of the water - then the color becomes more obvious.
I'm sure you've already observed that you can run a generator all
week and produce a pile of fuzz but you'll still only see a ppm
reading of 5 or 6 on a TDS meter.

Well I might just have to question that reasoning in the interest
of possibly learning something. If one knows the water is pure, so
let's assume we all know what we are doing by way of EIS
production, what difference does colour make in relation to meter
readings? You've still only got water with silver in it. Doubling
the TDS readout will give approximate TOTAL silver content the same
as the EC meter readout 'as is' will give an approximate TOTAL
silver content indication.
All meters work on conductivity hence they will all give an
approximate TOTAL silver content reading. Doesn't matter if the EC
meter is calibrated supposedly 1:1, or if one simply doubles the
reading on a TDS meter, it's still a reading of TOTAL silver
content in the water. I know meters pick up on the ionic
component, but doing the rough calculations we are speaking about
here they will all give an approximate silver content in total, not
just ions. This is why I use meters just to give me a 'ballpark'
figure at shutoff point.
