Classic RTG more intense gold than other golds?

Is it true that the classic/pure RTG has a more intense and darker gold than other golds (hbrtg/xb)?

no

Classic or shall i say pure rtg from indonesia has a copper gold colour they are better looking in term of the colour. For pure rtg u can search under another name which is MAHATO GOLDEN AROWANA, its named by the mahato river in indonesia.

But even under the "Mahato Gold" designation you will find a wide range of gold colourations, with some tending more to the yellow gold, some more to the blue base.

I think nowadays it all comes down to line breeding. If a farm has line bred some strong "yellow gold" fish I think the colouration will be excellent. This applies to XB, HBRTG, and RTG.
