Not sure if that's what you're asking about.In terms of shield dwarves vs gold dwarves, the most recent authoritative source would be the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, which states this:Shield Dwarves: "Shield dwarves have the racial traits of mountain dwarves in the Player’s Handbook. Their skin is usually fair, eyes green, hazel, or silver-blue, and they have brown, blond, or red hair. Full beards and mustaches are commonly seen on male shield dwarves."Bruenor Battlehammer is an example of what your typical shield dwarf looks like.<img src="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/forgottenrealms/images/1/1f/Streams_Of_Silver_Original_Cover_%28Bruenor_Close_Up%29.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="200x213" style="width: 228px" />Gold Dwarves: "Gold dwarves have the racial traits of hill dwarves in the Player’s Handbook. They are stocky and muscular, averaging about 4 feet tall, with brown skin, black or brown hair, and brown or hazel eyes, with green eyes rare (and considered lucky). Males grow full beards that they keep oiled and well groomed, and both genders wear their hair long and often elaborately braided."This is the accompanying illustration of a gold dwarf:<img src="https://www.dndbeyond.com/attachments/1/569/scag03-02.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="1000x941" style="width: 297px" /></blockquote>
