yes, gold (adj) is órga
silver (adj) is airgid, silver (n) is airgead (as is "money"...gold (n) is ór) |

Just to give you a bit of extra usage, ré órga = golden age. Try translating the following:
Thosaigh an ré órga cruicéid Astrálaigh sna nóchaidí. |

Cilleasrach > in Standard Irish I'd write :
"Thosaigh ré órga an chruicéid Astrálaigh sna nóchaidí".
