No other color is more inspirational than gold. Whether used for decorative arts or industrial processes, no other metal has the same qualities as gold. Show us your golden image, not yellow, not orange, but gold ... lots and lots of gold. The gold color must dominate the image. It doesn't have to be real gold, just posses the golden properties. See Additional rules!
