Talk:Colored gold

Carat versus Karat
Shouldn't we be using Karat instead of Carat? Carat is a measurement of weight in gemstones, Karat is the proper term for purity of gold.

Totally - "K"arat is the correct term06:01, 24 February 2021 (UTC)


 * The article describes the alternative spelling and consistently stays with carat.--MornMore (talk) 15:29, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Pictures?
Would anyone have pictures of the different shades of gold? This is an article about colour so the lack of visual aids seems silly. --Wilson (talk) 21:37, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm not going to mess with it... The graphic triangle says that silver makes white gold (lower left point), but the article says that silver makes green gold. Having made it myself many times, I can tell you that no amount of silver's gonna give you white gold, it will be green or greenish. I'd suggest changing the pic or editing it to be true. Right now it's patently incorrect. Jjdon (talk) 18:44, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Graph
An encyclopedic article for aimed at the general reader should not use a generally uncommon graph type without a short, clear explanation ON THE SAME PAGE of how to use the graph. It should not be necessary for the user to follow a link to understand how to use the graph. It's not as if this particular article is too long. Neonorange (talk) 00:47, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Colors of gold alloys ISO 8654:1987
This ISO norm is about everything there is to be said on this subject. This article should be on that norm rather being an amalgam of nonesense. It is unbelievebly difficult to find anything on this subject on the internet as if no nobody cares about this issue. Yellow and rose gold are typically graded on the N scale as I understand it. 2 and 3N are yellow gold alloys mostly encountered in jewelry. As a buyer of a very expensive gold watch, I'd really like to know of what is made the gold alloy used in my watch. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 135.19.198.82 (talk) 16:01, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
