How to Use Gold in Your Projects

  • 1Avoid muddy yellow-browns: Choose shimmering champagne gold (#D4AF37) or warm metallic amber (#F59E0B) for digital screens.
  • 2Use gold as an intentional 10% accent rather than flooding full backgrounds with metallic yellow.
  • 3Contrast check: White text on gold will fail WCAG accessibility; always use dark charcoal (#1C1917) text over gold surfaces.
