Some people may consider it to be "golden", to me I see the golden
yellow mixed with the hint of red in red oak and it looks closer to
"orange" to me, and I don't find it a pleasant color for wood. It seems
to peak at about 10 years. I have seen it in a number of oak
floors/furniture finished a variety of ways so it doesn't appear to be
caused by the finish. Possibly water based will add less color and age
better, only time will tell.

There is indeed an entire industry that seems built upon the phrase, if
not the color, "Golden Oak".

(AAMOF, I'm surprised some corporate jackass hasn't bought a
clowngressman in an attempted to TM the term yet)

I don't see the orange of which you speak ... then again I've been
touting the benefits of being color blind for some time.
