The only way I have gotten gold, is when I use gold luster dust and mix it with vodka and paint it on my items. HTH!!!
For gold fondant I color the fondant using Americolors Gold or Wiltons Buttercup Yellow (both tun out the same goldish color) and then piant it with a mixture of vodka and gold luster dust.

Good luck, and welcome to CC!
you can achieve a gold color in butter cream if you add yellow, red and green. Start with yellow, mix it well, add red, mix well again, and then add a drop or two of green, the more you add of the red or green will give you different shades. Always start with yellow, do this with a small amount of buttercream, to get the shade you want, then add what you have colored to enough buttercream for your cake, you will have a good idea by now how much of the three colors you have to add to get the color you need.
