    Probably they would spend a decade arguing over what is "White" and
    still get it wrong >:-} The FTC Guides for the Jewelry, Precious
    Metals, and Pewter Industries makes no mention of gold color
    anywhere so at this point there is no guidance on what color
    terminology  is not misleading or deceptive. And until some lawyers
    get involved in suits over deceptive practices there probably will
    not be any guidance from the FTC
