The golden fleece is red, "like to a cloud that blushes red (ἐρεύθεται) with the fiery beams of the rising sun." In Thalaba the Destroyer (written in English around 1800), gold hair means red hair, with footnotes that make it clear the poet thinks that's the usual meaning of gold hair. Prose Edda, gold is red. Starting to suspect the current gold = yellow is an outlier.
