I don't think I would use "gold" as an example.  Gold (the metal) comes in a
wide range of yellows depending on the impurities.  Gold with a high copper
content (IIRC) can come very close to an orange (the fruit) in color.  In
the Middle Ages, your description of gold (the color) would probably depend
on the particular golds (the metal) you had seen.
