Cadmium plating is kind of goldish in color. Cad plating is going away within the next couple of years due to environmental restrictions. My company used to use cad plated screws in assembly and had to switch to stainless steel. This is fine for corrosion protection but the production lines were relying on magnetic pick and place, so differant equipment had to be used.
