Rose Gold
Found in its pure state, gold has the colour yellow. It can appear to have other colours due to the alloys mixed in it and the various proportions they are in.
White colour of metal
The properties of white gold vary depending on the amount of nickel, palladium and other metals mixed in it. Nickel is hard and strong and can be used for making rings and pins. Palladium is soft and pliable and gemstone settings can be made out of it. The term is used also for pale yellow, tinted brown and very pale rose. The customers often do not see these colours as they are hidden by rhodium plating.
Rose colour of metal
The term is used because of the cooper alloy found in the gold. This alloy gives it a somewhat reddish colour. The distinction between red, rose and pink is made by the amount of alloy that is found in the gold. This type of precious metal was popular in Russia and it was known as Russian gold. These days the term has become rare but in the nineteenth century is was very used. This red type is also known as the crown gold, the highest version has 22 karats and is used in musical instruments such as bell of brass and woodwind instruments.
Green colour of metal
This type of metal has no cooper alloys in it, just silver thus giving it its greenish yellow colour.
Black, purple and blue colour of metal
This is actually normal gold that is coloured black for aesthetic reasons only. It is mostly used in jewelry. This precious metal can become black by electroplating, platination and chemical vapor deposition. Recently a new laser technique has been discovered that makes its surface black.
Purple gold, sometimes called violet gold, is an alloy of the pure metal and aluminum. It is frail and because of this it can shatter easily. Jewelers usually use it as a gem. The blue version is also a mixture of gold and indium.

What is rose gold, what are its components?
What is 9 carrot rose gold made of
Rose gold is a gold and copper alloy widely used for specialized jewelry due to its reddish color. It is also known as pink gold and red gold. Because it was popular in Russia at the beginning of the ninteenth century it is also known as Russian gold, although this term has become somewhat rare.
Since it is an alloy, there is no such thing as “pure rose gold”; pure gold is yellow and pure copper is reddish.
Although the names are often used interchangeably, the difference between red, rose, and pink gold is the copper content: The higher the copper content, the stronger the red coloration. A common alloy for rose gold is three-quarters gold and one-quarter copper.
Rose gold made of 25% copper would be classified as 18 karat gold. Typically about 4% silver is added to the 75% gold and 21% copper to give a rose color. 14 karat red gold is often found in the Middle East and contains 41.67% copper.
Rose gold is also the name of a commonly-used finish in bell interiors of musical instruments. It consists of a very thin plating of copper over a layer of silver. No actual gold is used.
