    I prefer silver jewelry (on myself at least), but for furniture type things gold is alright.

    • That’s because dark yellow urine is a sign of poor health, but I’m sure you knew that.

      I personally like to cultivate yellow urine by dehydrating myself in the winter, what for giving my snow-writing art more “pop”.

    I think its ghastly

    Only reason i have a gold ring is because the wife insisted. I like the ring because my wife is awesome, and it reminds me of her.

    I dunno about people in general but I really don’t, it’s garish

    No. Not at all. It looks tacky and people that flaunt it are usually fake-rich. I don’t mind spending money on quality things, but Gold does nothing for me.

    Depends on the game. I really like the gold revolver in rdr2 story mode. I didn’t expect to but it’s pretty awesome.

    Yes? I have a slightly more yellow undertone, so silver washes me out. Gold just looks better.

    I also enjoy gold accents when used sparingly in interior decoration.

  • I disliked gold, and preferred silver, until I got older. I’m convinced it’s social programming, in my case. I learned to like gold, because of decades of being told how valuable gold is.

    Why do I like deep blue? Why does anyone like any color? There’s probably some evolved reason for those preferences; for instance, many creatures are attracted to shiny things.

    In any case, I’m also interested in any scientific answer you get, but I wanted to put out there that I have annecdotal evidence that there’s a lot of learned (nurture) preference, combined with some evolved preference (shiny, nature).

    It’s been valued for so long it would be hard to separate from aesthetics. Like, it’s pretty much as old as metalworking in general.

    Consider how you’d feel about a blue-coloured metal. I think that would be neat, but it doesn’t have the “classy” feel that gold does, and that has to be cultural.

    As an accent material? Take my money any day of the week. As the base material? Nah, I think Silver does a better job there.

    I never did really, until a few weeks ago I found a gold bracelet type thing outside and wore it for a while. It’s not 100% my style but now I’m considering getting something else like it. It’s very thin which might help, maybe that makes it look nice but not too flashy.

    I personally do not. I have a silver watch. A silver and black ring. And don’t think I own anything gold. But many people do like the look.

      I always preferred silver as well—stainless steel appliances, white gold wedding band etc. But I just visited my brother who has done his kitchen in dark green and brass, and I think I finally see the appeal.
