How To  Make Gold

Gold metal is mostly what has inspired the color over the years, however, other natural forms of the color can be seen in the colors of fall, flowers, and sunlight.

When looking at the color wheel, gold can be located somewhere between yellow and orange. The more yellow it contains, the brighter it will be.

What Colors Make Gold?

Gold colors usually have a warmer feel to them, but like all colors, there are many different shades and hues.

When creating gold by combining just two colors, you will need to use yellow and brown. 

When combining these two colors, always start with yellow, as adding brown to yellow will go much quicker, (it could take quite a bit of yellow to overcome brown).

To create more brilliant gold colors and other shades and hues, you will need to mix different ratios of colors.

Once you have your basic brown and you do not want to affect the shade but want to give it a more realistic metallic look, try adding some orange.
