Yes. This is because the nickel combined with gold to make white gold. All pure gold is yellow, and white gold is made by alloying the gold with whitening agents such as nickel or silver. There is no isotope of gold that is white and by adding nickel or silver white gold becomes harder than yellow gold.

White gold is an alloy of gold and at least one white metal, usually nickel or palladium. Like yellow gold, the purity of white gold is given in carats: 24 kt is pure gold, 18 kt has 18 parts gold and 6 parts of another metal, so it is 75% pure.Since nickel is cheaper than gold this white (alloy) gold is cheaper than the yellow pure variant. The price of palladium is unknown to me, so I can't figure it out.
