Dear people

Would someone please be kind enough to tell me what the RGB numbers are for creating a nice Gold colour?
I would be most grateful.

Kind regards to all

Carl

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Gold is highly reflective, so there is no single RGB value for gold; the color "gold" is really a contrast between really bright highlights and dark shadows beneath. Try just painting a dull mustard color and then using the Lighting Effects filter on just the gold parts of your texture to achieve such effects; play around with the way it looks, and possibly use it multiple times on top of itself.

Here's a thread from a while back that further illustrates the point Johan just made. It's got some examples for RGB values that you may find useful.
