The RGB coordinates of yellow are 255 255 0. Can you define gold as a mixture of yellow and black (0 0 0) with equal amounts?? (This would be 128 128 0.) 66.32.76.46 01:58, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)
No. Gold and silver are defined by their metallic appearance. Without its glittering, its just yellow and grey. I claim, that gold is not a color because for something to appear metallic, shining or glittering, it has to be made up of pixels of different color saturation. Anybody seconding?

I agree. Gold is no more than a lustrous yellow, as Silver is no more than a lustrous gray (though ironically... the actual element silver is much closer to a lustrous white than it is a lustrous gray). That makes it something, but it isn't a color, it is a visual phenomena. I suggest that anything connecting this to "color" is removed. --Ctachme 16:30, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Schools
I noticed somebody put a school section 'schools whose colors include gold' or some such as that. I personally don't think it belongs on here because for one thing the number of schools that have a color(s) to represent themselves must be over a couple of thousand (not mentioning those that have the color gold) and for another to list them on the color page itself, this seems best suited to be on the school page (if it's not already). Just my thoughts on this.. --ImmortalGoddezz 21:54, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] School Colors
I changed the school colors to be only colleges with gold in their colors, to give a more well-known example.
