'''Gold''' or '''golden''' is a yellowish orange [[color]], or orange-tan color that is a bit like the color of the [[metal]] [[gold]]. The actual color of the metal, used for example in gilding, is called '''Metallic gold'''. Gold [[paint]] can be made by mixing brown, yellow paint and orange paint.

The [[web color]] ''gold'' is sometimes referred to as '''golden''' in order to distinguish it from the element ''gold''. The use of ''gold'' as a color term in traditional usage is more often applied to the color "gold (metallic)".
The first recorded use of ''golden'' as a color name in [[English language|English]] was in the year 1300 to refer to the element gold and in 1423 to refer to [[blonde]] hair.<ref>Maerz and Paul ''A Dictionary of Color'' New York:1930 McGraw-Hill Page 195</ref>

== Meaning of gold ==
* Gold represents ''[[wealth]]'' because the metal gold is [[Value|valuable]].

* Gold represents ''accomplishment'', as when an [[Sportsperson|athlete]] wins a ''Gold Medal'' at the [[Olympics]] or when a [[musician]] makes a ''Gold Record'' (a record that sells at least 1,000,000 copies).
