Gold is associated with Royalty and the Nobles, meaning only people of high status could wear or be associated with the colour gold and people who were allowed to wear gold during the Elizabethan era, as decreed by the English Sumptuary Laws were Duchesses, Marquises, and Countesses. The symbolic meaning of the colour was for divinity, majesty, and wealth which is another reason why wealthy people was associated with the colour gold, because they was the only people that could afford to own it or wear it. Fun fact about gold, is that it was often used for high Holy Days and festival days - the seasons of Christmas and easter.
