The original goldish color was actually not zinc plating but cadmium used as a sacrificial protective coating, Cadmium plating has gone the way of the Dodo due to environmental Nazi's and the modern replacement is Nickel plating which when polished resembles chrome and has a satin silver finish if unpolished that is what all modern bolts and nuts are done in.
Increased use of Nickel plating is probably why Clive Palmer wants to reopen his Townsville facility as an aside because increased use of nickel is becoming more common, You can even do nickel plating at home kits are available for about Au $160.00
