Gold has always been a very fancy and sophisticated color, something Gatsby has always pursued. Yellow represents a fools gold, showing that Gatsby may be a fake. Later on it is revealed how Gatsby earned his millions. The color may also represent Daisy's hair, as described on page 21.
"The lamp-light, bright on his boots and dull on the autumn-leaf yellow of her hair,"  
This may also describe a fools gold as Daisy is slowly revealed not to be the person Gatsby wants her to be. The color yellow represents the book very well and helps add a depth to the book that may not be very apparent at first glance.]]> 2016-11-15 20:34:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jsiess/vsympdjo3cg8/wish/137905692 https://padlet.com/jsiess/vsympdjo3cg8/wish/137905921  Katie: the color represents tranquility and sadness that Gatsby feels like “the blue leaves" or "blue curtains"]]> 2016-11-15 20:35:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jsiess/vsympdjo3cg8/wish/137905921 sabinam79206 https://padlet.com/jsiess/vsympdjo3cg8/wish/137905955 Gatsby has colors like green and gold, the colors of money.

I drove into West Egg Village to search for her among soggy white-washed alleys and to buy some cups and lemons and flowers." -Line 1, Page 89

White is the color in which the walls of the alleys of West Egg Village had painted. The white represents the simple, unembellished style of the village, in sharp contrast to the stylish, wealthy East Egg.

-Zayne

I think yellow symbolizes energy in the two girls. They sit down with Nick, Jordan, and three other men. They seem to be instantly involved in the conversation and want to find out more about Nick. They also want to gossip about various topics, even without being familiar with Nick.]]> 2016-11-15 20:42:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jsiess/vsympdjo3cg8/wish/137907616 cooperd77171 https://padlet.com/jsiess/vsympdjo3cg8/wish/137907739 i agree with you there are several cases where yellow represents Gatsby himself
