I’d say champagne, but I can only see the same photo as you!
For dial colors, the two terms are usually considered interchangeable. Rolex has made darker gold dials, like the gold linen dials, but most (or all?) of the “sunburst” dials like this one are called champagne. |

I agree with Miamiclay. Gold and champagne are used interchangeably.
If the dial color is lighter than the color of the case/bracelet/hands, I would call it champagne. If it perfectly matches the color of the case, I would call it gold. Attaching a photo of what I think is a gold dial (but I acknowledge that others may disagree). |

I finally gave this a moment’s actual thought, and …
That photo is odd, but the condition looks quite good except for the bezel. Considering that the terms are used interchangeably, unless it is the name of the dial which matters to you, ask the seller to send you some good photos of the head and dial indoors (not in a lightbox), and some in sunlight. Then you will know what it looks like! |

To me it looks like what the parts site I use call "METALLIC CHAMPAGNE-COLOUR."
