It was gold and according to Ginger Rogers was the first time she had ever worn a piece from >>>
her personal wardrobe on film. “Bernard Newman’s clothes in Roberta for me and for Irene Dunne were exceptionally clever and handsome. The gold lamé dress I wore for the “I Won’t Dance” number was a dress I had bought while in New York as part of my trousseau. That was the first time I ever wore a personal dress in a motion picture, and it was probably because Bernard Newman had designed it." I've seen Roberta colorized and it was shown in silver but I'll take Ginger's own word for it that it was gold! (You can tell I devoured her memoir)
