Do I need to be wary of connector ends that have a gold color but are actually just brass pins? I know there are industrial cables built this way, but I don't know if there are PC cables built this way.

Thanks

Yes. If there's no gold, it won't be a connector end.

In reality bare brass in electronics connectors are quite rare. Rare enough I wouldn’t worry myself over it.
