Re: Colloidal Silver

RE: Of course, you say amber, indicating a difference between that and golden, so are you saying there's no such thing as golden?

In the world of Colloidal Silver solutions, the color scale beyond clear ranges from; Amber(straw colored), thoughout onto black.

That said, I'd consider gold to be further down the line than amber, which is most commonly acheivable in terms of colloidal stability(suspension). Whereas gold tending on orange, either borders or enters the realm of instability(droppping out, plating etc) due to the inherent saturation limits that come with the solution(colloidal).  And while there are ways(methods) that can be used to to overcome said saturation limits, I wouldn't consider them conventional or helpful in most cases. 

RE: And I was saying the time the silver maker runs has no bearing on the silver's color,. which it seemed you are saying.

If by silvers color you mean the colloidal silver solution, then the answer is that time certainly plays a role in coloration. ie, when the process begins and ppm's are low, the solution is clear. 
However, once the particle density increases and grow, the particles begin to refract light, and the solution begins to ehibit color. This is due to processing. Granted, there are numerous other factors that could either; alter or change the nature of the particle size and behavior leading to color changes. Though on the scale of bare minimum ingredients(pure distilled water, pure silver, and current at room temperature), the results are consistent: Running the process long enough leads to the color changes shown above.
