What is it about this colour that humans find so alluring?

    It's the color of a rare substance, too, so it's become associated with wealth and power.

    It has has heft to it. Gold coins have literal and figurative weight to them.

    ^That's why I always laugh when I look at my inventory in a fantasy game and see that I'm carrying thousands of gold coins.

    ^^That's why paper money was invented. You were given vouchers for the gold you had because that shit was to heavy to carry around, not to mention the danger of being robbed.

    Which is another reason those Gold-hoarding end-of-days prophets are idiots.

    It's like that line from one of the Evil Dead films. "Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun."


    Unfortunately, this is usually true when law and order breaks down. On topic, I prefer silver to gold as a colour, but it's been kind of ruined by "living statue" mimes and female Goths who go in for weird silver accessories.
