I mean that I don't know what the material is supposed to look like, so it's
hard to know if I'm correctly rewriting the material.

Specular doesn't take a color, just a scalar value.
But now that I think about it more, this is supposed to be a metallic material,
so maybe:

#declare GOLDDARK = material {texture { pigment {rgb <0.81, 0.71, 0.23>} finish
{diffuse 0.5 metallic specular 0.5 brilliance 1 } } }

Would be better.
I'm a terrible person to ask about textures and finishes - but hopefully this
helps a little.
