Residuum: What color is it really?

[Sacred Temple]

On the sidebar on page 225 PHB bottom left it lists Residuum as having a "silvery color". However under the "Disenchant Magic Item" Ritual listing on page 304 of the PHB it's listed as "...golden [colored] dust..." So which is it?!

In one place it says it's too rare to be used for trade, in the other, it says it's a commodity, basically a super duper platinum piece.

Clearly, only the gold kind is too rare to be used for trade.

Residuum is like Kryptonite. There are lots of flavours! Gold Residuum is very rare, and found only in thingy and the overthere, and it gives a bonus to foofoo when used for Enchanting whatsits. Silver Residuum has no bonuses, but the ritual to extract it from magic items is will known.
