They are the same type of fish ust a different color, so yes. But If you have 4 in a 35 it may be over stocked when then get mature.
EDIT : unless the silver ones are altums, wild caught, same family but a little different.

I think 3 would work till two become a pair, then the pair will pick on the single angel. They will also keep the molly fry down to, free food :D .

thats exactly what i wanted to do to keep my angels as happy as can be
because my LFS said that i need an odd number of angels so that it isnt tic for tac(hit for another hit) so they dont fight

Same species. They get along fine. I have two koi angels in a 29 gallon. The general rule is 10 gallons per an angel. The 4 should be ok without many other tank mates to dirty up the place. They do get about 6" long and high. When you have a group on angels sometimes one will become dominant and push the others around. And like people have mentioned, if two pair up they will pick on the third. The best case is if you get two pairs or if they all just get along. :)
