On a cloudy or rainy day the golden hour will be dark as others have stated. What I do often, even during a bright true golden hour, is adjust my white balance to give me a different effect. You will have to play around with it to get what you find pleasing. I have the capability to actually adjust the temperature without presets. This has given me many interesting looks.
That is a good point. I usually set my WB to cloudy on those overcast days (most of the year here in Oregon) although all that can easily be adjusted in post process.
