I’m not quite sure what you mean. If you took a picture of an orange and sampled a pixel from it, it wouldn’t look like an orange (fruit) any more, but it would look orange (color). Likewise sampling a pixel from a picture of a piece of gold wouldn’t look like gold (metal), but it would still be gold (color).

It would just be yellow

Gold just looks like a dull yellow out of context.
