This may sound really weird, but they are golden so they can blend in. Since they are in the canopy, it is hard for predators like jaguars to be able to tell the difference between a golden lion tamarin and a patch of sunlight seeping through the trees.
Golden lion tamarins are golden in color to help them blend in with the sunlight filtering through their forest habitat, providing camouflage from predators. Their golden fur also helps them regulate their body temperature by absorbing and reflecting sunlight efficiently in their tropical environment.
