Carol, I think using the gold as the med. blue might be problematic, because Bonnie mentioned that we would be using the dark blues and med. blues in matched pairs. So rather than a same-color, shade difference effect, you would be getting a strong color contrast effect where we use the blues, and that would most likely change the effect of the pattern (which could turn out to be beautiful, we just don't know). I think if you could find a darker blue to be your med. blue, the gold could still work as the aqua.
