True, the building and items in the building were made of copper, silver and
gold, but the Kohen Gadol on Yom Kippur, when he entered the kodesh hadkedoshim,
davka wore plain white and did /not/ wear his bigdei zahav, because "ein kategor
na'aseh sanegor." And when a person goes to meet his Maker, he is dressed
in white tachrichim. White is more of a symbol of innocence and purity,
gold is I'm not sure what -- a symbol of Divine splendor, perhaps.</DIV></DIV>
