The Era of the Gold Cartridge

So, I'm staring at a copy of the N64 version of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. 
 
It's a gold cartridge, which for a reasonable span of time in video gaming was kind of a big thing to do to your cartridge, rather than stick with the drab grays and blacks available. Indeed, for a while it seemed like getting a banana-color DKC was almost as valued as any of the current collector's edition trinkets packed in with our current games. Maybe we were just easier to please back then.
 
Still, the last of these as far as I can recall, were the Pokemon series; which conveniently color-coded right up to the switch from the GBA to DS, I suppose. Which brings me to a thought. Would colorized DS catridges mean much any longer or has that era just passed by unheralded?
