The only difference I’d imagine between a silver and gold MB would be the catalogue/product number. For example, Mactracker has the following order numbers for the 2015 MB:

If that’s right, then the best you can do is ask your user to enter that information in order to display the correct icon. In lieu of that, your only option is to display a generic icon for the model identifier that you find in the usual way(s).

Apple used to display the right color for iPod icons, why wouldn’t they do it too for new MacBook network icon. Especially as the three variants are present in the System icons. I’m pretty sure the color is coded somewhere in the machine.
