I would say that the color of the blooms on this cultivar is a medium or lemon yellow, rather than gold. (This is in Saratoga, CA.) Sometimes there is a faint suggestion of a rose blush on the ends of the petals.
It can be a little difficult to set pods on this plant, as the pistils are often blunt or kinked.

Sadly, I just discovered rust on this plant today (confirmed by passing the "tissue test"). One of its parents is BILL NORRIS, which is noted as being rust susceptible, so that is probably at least partly the source for its susceptibility. (The other parent is a seedling.) I have submitted a proposed change to list it as being susceptible to rust.
(I cannot reasonably or objectively give it a number evaluation, as at this time there are no other daylilies in my garden which are exhibiting rust which I can compare it to. (I do have several daylilies which are known to be rust susceptible, including ARCTIC LACE, VICTORIAN LACE, and WHITE WOLF.) It is in a spray-irrigation type of situation (which receives partial shade), so that is perhaps a contributor. Several leaves have rust pustules on them.)
I also proposed that the color is yellow; that is how it presents in my garden (a golden yellow, if you will) - not gold (as, for example, in MARY'S GOLD).

I just reviewed both of my comments... regarding color, one says "lemon yellow", the other "golden yellow".... possibly due to different parts of the year (with or without cold nights). This daylily does start blooming here in mid-April (sparse bloom, low scapes - maybe these are old rebloom scapes?). The bloom color is definitely NOT what I would call "gold"; it is clearly yellow, of whichever sort.
The main show (taller scapes) begins the first week in May, and goes into early June. It is June 3rd here and there are still many buds, but the clump (which has been in bloom all May) is clearly past peak bloom. This leads me to also question the "Midseason" designation; I think it is (at least) an Early Midseason as it starts bloom well before 'Pink Fanfare' (registered as an EM), which does not begin bloom here until after mid May.
