Here are three photos of my Gold Max that I just took back to back in the same room. It’s just after sunrise.
The third pic is of the back of the phone facing the window with the sun just barely peaking over the house behind us. The first is facing away from the window and the second is away from the window around a corner with no direct sunlight.
I can tell you that the third pic is not a very good representation of what the phone looks like in that lighting because the light was not that white/cool. It actually looked more copper-ish IRL. The other two were close, but still not 100% color accurate.
I said all this to say two things. First, the gold color (and probably the space grey and silver to a lesser extent) will probably not be very accurately represented with pics. Second, the gold color can look a bunch of different ways in the same lighting depending on viewing angles and intensity of the light. If the color is really critical to you, I’d advise you to see them in person, even if it’s just in Apple’s staged lighting conditions.
