    Hallo Deborah. I have purchased and used white gold leaf on the
    surface of enamel, although it is probably too thin to take enamel on
    the top. Therefore I would assume that white gold foil can be made.
    Perhaps your supplier could help you. As it is the characteristic of
    the foil to create the wrinkling effect, and the problem seems to be
    the colour, could you use a more suitable colour over silver foil to
    knock back the 'brashness' to get the desired result? 

Good luck, 
Jenny Gore.
