Choosing a paint color is so overwhelming! I just went through this as we painted the entire house interior and so much time was spent choosing colors.
A neutral color that I would recommend with a gold hue is "Blonde" which is a Sherwin Williams color. It didn't catch my eye on the color chart but was recommended by the painter who had an eye for color and it is a rich color with a little bit of a gold hue. He also warned me about gold tones, they tend to look too yellow on the wall. Originally I was leaning more toward colors that looked more gold on the swatch but I am glad I didn't go that route. I did choose a color called "harvest gold," also a Sherwin Williams paint for my two boys and sure enought, it looks too yellow!
I also have white trim and the blonde color is a nice contrast. Even though it is high up in lightness on the color chart, it is a pretty rich looking color, yet neutral.
Good luck!!
