My kudu’s horns are gold. The pair of kudu horns I have lying on my roof is almost black.

Cecil Wade's book says gold is associated with "generosity and elevation of mind" and blue is associated with "loyalty and truth." It looks like that is on page 26 at that link I posted back there; the scan of the book is not pristine...
