You shouldn't. One man's gold is another's yellow after all.

I just know my humi's were made in China and was getting the "gold" part from Craig's post in this thread:

Black tassel: lowest grade, typically painted MDF with cedar veneer on the inside; tray may have a cedar divider;

Red tassel: highest (relative) grade, typically MDF with wood veneer on the outside and cedar veneer with some cedar lining on the inside. cedar tray.
To be honest, the tassel on mine looks yellow to me too..........lol
