Golden
Breed name modifier
Golden describes the color of gold—a warm, lustrous yellow.
The word extends to things that share gold's value or brilliance: a golden opportunity, the golden years of retirement, a golden age of cinema.
Golden can mean made of gold (golden ring) or simply gilded in appearance (golden sunset).
What's golden is precious, favorable, or ideal: silence is golden, the golden rule.
