Why Is white gold white in colour, in order to change its colour we have to mix it with other metals. The ultimate colour of the gold is determined by the metals combined with the gold to form an alloy, and the ratio of those metals. Common metals mixed with gold include copper, silver, nickel, palladium, and zinc.

Gold in its pure form is 24 carat and as we all know is a gold or a shiny yellow colour, pure twenty four carat gold is far to soft to make into jewellery, it is so soft that if worn on a regular basis would probably wear very thin in a short space of time, so in order to harden the gold the jeweller has to mix it with other metals to make it harder and strong enough to withstand every day wear and tear. Depending on the amount and the different other metals that it is alloyed with IE. mixed with not only determines the hardness and strength of the gold but can also determine the colour of the gold, different craftsmen will use various metals to alloy with the gold but whatever metals are used the percentage of gold should be the same for each carat.

The colour of the gold alloy is determined by the other metals that it is alloyed with for instance white gold will have silver and various other white metals alloyed with it in order to make it white, where as rose gold will have copper alloyed with it to make it a red/ pink/ rose colour and yellow gold will most commonly have smaller percentage of silver copper and zinc to keep its yellow colour, 9 carat yellow gold is often a lighter yellow colour than 18 carat yellow gold, which is more of a rich and intense yellow due to its higher gold content.
