What is the cost difference between white and yellow gold crowns?

I just got a white gold crown and wanted a yellow gold crown. The dentist says the difference in cost is about $250. Is that reasonable? I thought white gold was actually more expensive than yellow for most applications.

1. Probably. Yellow gold crowns have a higher gold content in them. They are not 100% gold by the way. Gold runs labs about $1000/oz right now.
