I think you need to read the link I posted..I will paraphrase
The packers originally had gold but Lombardi changed it to yellow...Ron wolf toyed with the idea of going back to gold (like the saints gold) and actually had drawings made of it...he then changed his mind and stayed with the yellow
You can call it what you want, but it's Yellow From the link I posted for you
"Do you see Aaron Rodgers to the left? Do you see how nice he looks, sporting that iconic green uniform and yellow helmet? The same one Brett Favre wore…and Reggie White…and (basically) Bart Starr. It’s truly an icon of the National Football League and it’s hard to imagine the Packers wearing anything different."
"But what if they did? It seems like a near impossibility, but it actually almost happened once."
Possible Color Change Outlined
There was a rumor Sunday the Packers would have a press conference concerning their uniforms colors during the week following the Eagle game. This, however, seemed certain: The Packers plan to change their uniforms next season, retaining the current dark green, but switching pants and helmets from the present yellow to metallic gold.
Packer President Bob Harlan told the Milwaukee Journal the gold was not the same as that worn by any other team and that it was selected by General Manager Ron Wolf and Coach Mike Holmgren. Harlan said the helmet would be switched from yellow to gold and have a large green “G” on each side and the jersey would have a smaller green “G” on each sleeve. The white numbers on the green home jerseys and the green numbers on the white road jerseys will also have a gold outline. The pants will be plain gold.
