This is just shed. When you look at it in a certain light it can look gold. Air has gotten up under the shell. Nothing to worry about....

This site has a discussion board that you can talk to other turtle owners, maybe they can answer this question for you. Sorry, I know very little about pet turtles

Your turtle has shell rot, which is a common bacterial infection.
Gently scrape off the fungus, apply neosporin, and don't allow the turtle back into the water for several hours.
Repeat weekly until it heals.
Add Novaqua to the water as a preventative.

Re-read your question...
"Why is my turtle's shell a on some spots in gold"?
HUH???
Are you asking why there are specks of gold in his shell?
Why would his shell's color have anything to do with his appetite?
Maybe rephrase your question.
