Shoot, I wouldn't sneeze at palladium either, $574.00 still better than copper!
Does palladium look like white gold? Cause these boards I pull out of Dish amps have a whitish look to them (on the circuit traces), they don't have the typical "gold" color to them.

Yes palladium can have a dullish white color to it. Boards usually don't have palladium used in the circuit traces unless it is very small traces in circutry on chip's. Traces are mostly lead (some gold) for older board's and tin for newer board's, the color you are seeing could be oxidized tin.
