Brushed brass
Brushing cuts thousands of parallel scratches into metal. Each one spreads the highlight along its own length and not at all across it, so the reflection stretches into a band rather than pooling into a spot. Turn the key and the band turns with it. Nothing here depends on colour: this is the one specimen whose whole read is the SHAPE of a highlight, and it looks the same to a viewer who cannot see hue at all.
