Are you kidding? In the grand scheme of things a color scheme is very unimportant. It should not be a decision that fills you w/ dread. You should not be so overly concerned w/ what your friends think.

Classic fall colors are always appropriate. Actually, anything that looks nice w/ the decor of your home is appropriate. You can go outside the box.

I once did a formal Thanksgiving dinner in navy and pink. It went w/ the Evesham china I had and the navy was a nice under cloth for an ecru Victorian crocheted tablecloth my grandmother had made. In the center of the table I had a collection of mismatched brass candlesticks of different heights w/ dusty rose tapers that matched the napkins (yes, it was the eighties).

Use what you have and put it together in a new way. Since gold is so abundant in nature you can work it into your palette as either a color or a metal.
