Gold, also called golden, is one of a variety of yellow-orange color blends used to give the impression of the color of the element gold.

Lol; that's from the Wiki entry on "gold(color)". My folks had a kitchen set in Harvest Gold, and let me tell you it didn't look like gold at all.

Also from Wiki but from the entry for the metal:
"Gold" is cognate with similar words in many Germanic languages, deriving via Proto-Germanic *gulþ from Proto-Indo-European *ghel ("yellow/green").[SUP][9][/SUP][SUP][10]
[/SUP]

From Wiktionary:
[h=3]Etymology 1[/h] From Middle English, from Old English gold (“gold”), from Proto-Germanic *gulþan (“gold”). Compare Dutch goud, German Gold, Swedish guld), from Pre-Germanic *ǵʰl̥tóm (“gold”), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰel- (“yellow; gleam; to shine”) (compare Latvian zelts, Russian золото (zóloto), Persian زر (zar), Sanskrit ... (hīraṇyam). More at yellow.
