    That is a protective varnish they put over the board. They actually use different colors. That's copper under the varnish, give it a scrape. The green where it says 6.4 has had the copper etched off already.

    All that glitters is not gold. If you see gold color that has no coating on then you can be fairly sure that you have gold.
