Afadir is right on the mark. Electrum was the in character name for the metal used on a few light sabers.

For example Mace Windu's saber is constructed of metal and electrum with a Hurrikaine crystal. So it has a silver metal with gold appearance with a purple blade.

I really want to be able to use some of that gold-ish color for highlights on my custom asp sabers in the future or work with the customs shop to create something from scratch.

I have always wanted unique (non-prop-copy) sabers since as much as I love many of the "face" characters I could never see myself as one of them no matter the costume.

Here you go:

Electrum was a rare metal once used in lightsaber construction as a sign of Force mastery. This lightsaber modification was called an Electrum Detail or Electrum Detailing.[1] A purely cosmetic accessory, this feature was only allowed to high-ranking Jedi, an honor bestowed on Masters at their promotions, after having demonstrated their skill. It was a rarity among Force-users, both Jedi and Sith. Mace Windu was known to have used an Electrum hilt for his lightsaber, as was Darth Sidious.[1] This Electrum detail gives the lightsaber hilt a distinctive gold color.[1] Electrum was also used to make jewelry. Electrum was mined on several planets, including Abregado-rae and Duros
