changing font color using response.write

the default font color of my asp page is "white" as set in the body tag

i want to change my table headers to "gold" and only the table headers and the rest of the text on the page to remain white.

I have come up with this but it will not change the color:

Response.write "<font color=""" & gold & """>"
      Response.write "<center>"
      Response.write "<TABLE BORDER=1>"
      Response.write "<TR>"
      Response.write "<TH>User_name</TH>"
      Response.write "<TH>Last_log_date</TH>"
      Response.write "<TH>IP_Address</TH>"
      Response.write "<TH>Login_count</TH>"
      Response.write "</TR>"
Response.write "</font>"

can someone help me please?
