i hadn't noticed gold being used as a positive color!! what made you notice that :0?
i guess positive is maybe not the right word but i didn't know what else to say... protective? maybe its Not That Deep but gold is obviously a prominent color in both sora and mickey's versions of the kingdom key, so there's that. the emblem terra, ven, aqua and eraqus have is also typically gold (its gold on both ven and terra) and the armor pieces in their outfits also have gold (shoes, stomach thingy on ven and eraqus, the shoulder armor itself)
maybe it's not a lot i guess but whenever i see gold metal i associate it as a good thing.
obviously the gold eyes indicate xehanort, but they could've picked any other weird color for eyes to be, so if it's in someone's eyes im like oh no but otherwise gold is something i associate with sora or just armor in general if that makes sense
