the color of the item actually depends on the total number of stats above average an item is. the shield is 35 stats above average (+14 str and +21 atk) which still ends up as purple. (i'm not too sure what number above avg it has to be in order to be gold)
an even odder case would be a 21 atk bwg, which would still be blue because it is 'only' 21 stats above average.
