Gold is considered a majestic color that symbolizes wealth and luxury. It is associated with success, achievement, and triumph, but it can also be deemed decadent and overindulgent. Connected with prestige and elegance, gold symbolizes divinity, power, and wisdom in many religions due to its association with masculine energy and the power of the sun.
