I stripped some badly rusted cast irons but after seasoning it looks Gold, is this fine?

Did I fuck it up somehow? I followed the stripping and seasoning guide in the FAQs but when I took the pans out of the oven they are a goldish brown. Is this rust? I stripped the pan and seasoned again and it looks the same. The pans weren’t rusty at all when I oiled them up and stuck them in the oven. I dried them super well too.
