Can Somebody Tell Me the Colony Colour of staphylococcus aureus?

ASAP PLZCan Somebody Tell Me the Colony Colour of staphylococcus aureus?
Please see Google search for more details and descriptions on Staphylococcus aureus.
white/cream if im not mistaken.
when cultured on agar plates i know they appear gold.
aureus is certainly latin for golden.
are you doing a stab or streak?? Either way on agar it's a whitish ashen depending if it was a pure example.
S. aureus is a Gram-positive coccus, which appears as grape-like clusters when viewed through a microscope and have large, round, golden-yellow colonies, recurrently with β-hemolysis, when grown on blood agar plates.[2] The golden appearance is the etymological root of the bacteria's christen: aureus means "golden" within Latin.
