The English word "golden" means made of gold, using the Old English suffix -en to signify the structure of a thing (hence brazen, ashen, wooden, leaden and so on).

In Latin the term for gold is aurum, while something golden or made of gold would be aureus.

Golden can also be figurative, indicating a colour "like gold", which is flavus in Latin. The same word also means yellow or blonde.

Edit: you contacted me to say that you meant the "golden mean", which can refer either to a philosophical idea or to a mathematical ratio. Both of these are Greek in origin, not Latin, and as far as I can tell Latin has no such term. The Greek phrase is:

ἄκρος καὶ μέσος λόγος, meaning "extreme and mean ratio", in other words "the golden mean".
