He say Stay Gold because gold in the poem by Jack Frost represents how everything can be pure and good and he wants Pony to always be like that.
It meant that he shouldn't change and be like a normal greaser, and to stay gold and become something different.

Her early leaf's a flower, but only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf, so Eden sank to grief.
And dawn went down to day.
Nothing Gold can Stay.
It means when your a young child, your new, good, gold.
But the older you get, bad things happen.
And you change. Dawn goes to day.
Johnny tells Ponyboy to stay gold.
By that, he means for Ponyboy to stay good, not to turn out like Dallas.
Johnny wants Ponyboy to graduate, get a job, and have a better life than any greaser would. Johnny is saying, it's not to late for Ponyboy to change. Ponyboy can make better grades, and have a better life. He can follow Dallas' path, and turn into an old greaser, or he can be like Darry, and have a successful life. Ponyboy doesn't have to be a greaser forever. That is what Johnny means by telling Ponyboy to stay gold.
