True, I guess that's why most of them have the icon text in black.
I find the gold perfectly fine, but then that's the one I am getting once my contract is up in October, so I'm completely biased.

I don't like the darker brownish golds though and Apple had a hard time selling that iPod the last time they made them in that color.
If it's in the iPhone version's IAP, I'll most definitely use the Sand theme.
