gold
Fort Knox contents
The chemical element gold has been highly valued since ancient times and most non-literal uses of the word have direct reference to its qualities.
Gold is the commonest name for a dark yellow, especially metallic, color.
Anything considered very valuable can be called gold informally: Her response was pure gold.
In competition awards, gold typically indicates the first-place winner: The Olympian is going for gold.
