Having a golden or golden-yellow color, used to describe objects, minerals, or organisms with a distinctive warm golden hue.
From Greek chrysos (gold) + chroa or chroos (color or complexion). This classical adjective directly translates as 'gold-colored.'
This word comes from the same root as 'monochrome' and 'polychrome'—and it shows how the ancient Greeks were obsessed with color categories, having special words for gold-colored things specifically, which tells us that shiny golden objects were really important in their culture!
