     Over and over again in the novel you see yellow.  For instance when Nick is at Gatsby's party for the first time and he meets the pair of girls every time he sees them he specifically mentions their yellow dresses.  The glasses of Dr. T. J. Eckleburg are yellow and Gatsby's car is Yellow.   Gatsby refers to Daisy as the Golden girl, "High in a white palace the king's daughter, the golden girl" (Fitzgerald 120).  All of these things relate, I believe.  When Nick sees the girls in yellow, that's supposed to be an experience beyond real life, so big, so lush, so extravagant that it seems perfect.  Gatsby's paradise (for lack of a better word) that he created to show Daisy (that being his party).  The Glasses also show this perfection, their are on the eyes that hang over the point of sin with Tom and Myrtle.  They are in the air watching clean and bright above the area that isn't in any way heavenly.  The car as well, it is a good car, as we see with the haggling Tom does over it.  Also it is an extension of the house, with its extravagance, to show strived for godliness.  Finally Daisy, Daisy is Golden, this is what Gatsby strives for, this is what he sees at the end of that pier.  She is what takes up his world, and what motivates him, so it makes sense that she would be golden.  At the same time though this perfection Gatsby has been trying to show with his wealth and his dreams doesn't exist on earth.
