Do you mean Gold Mode pigment? Or is there a Gold mode e/s too? Too many gold colors, yet they are all so different LOL.

I like the gorgeous gold, but it's more of a yellowish/greenish gold on me (I am NW25). It looks different on everyone so you should try it if you haven't on your skintone.

Fyrinnae Aztec Gold (slightly greenish cast when applied) and Genie Lamp (true gold) are my two favs.

the gold shades from the mediteranee or isolde eyeshadow duos from NARS, they are amazingly silky.

Goldmine, gold stroke, and melon. Pigments are definitely best for gold because they have so much shimmer and sheen.

i've found a new love for amber lights. an orangey gold that looks stunning as a wash on the lid!

It is more ambery/bronze than gold, but Amber Lights is my favourite eyeshadow colour in taht category. It has a great depth adn intensity to it that doesn't make it look trashy or tacky, but still retains a great metallic shine and a goldish vibe to it.

I'm pale and I really like Urban Decay's Half Baked.. it's a true gold and it comes out pretty bold on me (i'm NW 15 but I just started wearing NW when an MA tried it out on me.. I have worn NC 15 for years and I always liked Half Baked)

I've bought about Amber Light from MAC since I discovered it. I am NC40 and my NC45 friend LOVES it too!

Goldmine would be a LOT more obvious on your complexion.

Just throwing this out there, but a GREAT drug store brand gold I've tried was from the Black Radiance line. I don't know if anyone's ever heard of it, but some years ago - and by years, I mean a LOOOOONG time ago, maybe some 6 years or more - I was just randomly walking down the beauty isle of a local drug store. I came across Black Radiance's Eye Shadow Quartet in 8801 Desert Clay.

The colors are SOOOO pigmented! The gold is definitely one of the best gold's I've ever tried! And I believe they're only $3-$5!

(this is the only image I could find of the quartet - don't let this image full you, it seems like the colors aren't right, but the colors in person are VERY bright and extremely pigmented!)

I've swatched Urban Decay's Half Baked when I was in Sephora, and I think it is a gorgeous gold- not too yellow, dark, or light. Does anyone know of a MAC eyeshadow that is a dupe/very similar to UD's Half Baked?
