Yellow gold for me in a Day-Date. The silver dial with Roman markers looks beautiful on a yellow gold Day-Date.

A lot of this depends on your own personal style.

Do you tend to dress in a way that lends itself more to YG or WG?

White gold or platinum. The Platinum with ice/blue dial is a standout in my opinion.

Out of curiosity, what is your skin tone that you claim does not suit RG?

IMO it's either YG and/or PT depending on your taste in color and bezel.
