Mary Ann,
That is correct. I knew you would get it first. You are the star pupil. I hope others will answer also as there is a point to this.

uh......
It is kinda a light beige, with darker beige stripes (thats the color)
Also referred to since their inception as a Gold Tabby, by the guy who bred the first ones (Josip Marcan) the name has little to due with the color as far as I can tell, seems more like a "it's our thing, we can call it what we want too"
There is another blog that is revered for it's educational value, and as a tool of learning. They have had a number of pictures of Tabby's and even had a momentous discussion about white tigers, which started with "someone" mistaking a lion for a tiger. This gentleman made his first appearance on this blog to comment on a sidesaddle picture from the 1920's, and then told me to spend my time better when I defended my American Pride when I reran a old post from Buckles Blog.
As we are all friends here, in an effort to introduce SteeleArena314 who's name is Roger Smith to readers, He is a wild animal trainer who is recognized as being a Thousand Oaks, Mable Stark/Clyde Beatty expert having spent a long period of time as Mr. Beatty and Ms. Starks Assistant. He being an expert in the art of training, always suggests in an effort to "grandiose" the old time subjugators, that modern trainers declaw their animals and castrate them for any other reason then birth control. His statements are absolutely not true and he has been told this in the past, but being an expert on the "steel bound den of fury", he continues with the oracle. It is people like this that hurt the profession more then anything you can know. Not the ones who ask why was it that way back in the "good old days."
This is the big cat experts comment to this picture of the Golden Tabby on the Educational Channel. I was more concerned with pointing out again, "modern trainers" methods, to even waste my time with the tiger. Casey responded, and no thank you for the information from the "old school".

I appreciate this fully-clawed, handsome tiger. I note his specially tinted coat color and his light brown stripes. I presume he's a he. There has been some mixture here. Anyone know how this appearance was achieved?

Gary,
This is actually what people call a "tabby" tiger (I know, it looks nothing like a tabby house cat) I believe the color mutation came originally from breeding a white tiger to a tigalon or a liger.

Roger,
You always reference, "fully clawed." As far as I know, about 99% of them are. Do you know something different? Let us know. Otherwise it seems to me like a no bigger deal then stripes on a tiger, or spots on a leopard, or a mane on a lion.

Thanks Casey! Hey how is the new cat working out in your act?

You now you have met another expert, and have examples of "new school" with Mr. Jando, and "old school" with Mr. Smith. When they are discussing what went wrong, it might be considered in the discussions.

I should let Mr. Smith introduce himself:

Charles A. Bennett, our venerable Uncle Ben at Jungleland, worked closely with Louis Roth from 1933 to 1945. Those dozen years established Ben as the most respected cat man in the Compound. Every day for five years, in mentoring my apprenticeship, Ben would cite the ways of Louis Roth. He said decisively, "Old Louie knew more about the big cats than any man who ever walked in this country." Today, few of us remain who understand how circus animal trainers broke in and earned the core knowledge of the work. Roth profoundly influenced a young Clyde Beatty, thoroughly schooled Mabel Stark (his wife of four years)and the Barnes show trainers, generously tutored Uncle Ben, and thereby passed it on for the last time to this grateful exponent of the Old School.
