nitenurse79 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Try this one - FFD700 or DAA520. You could always look here -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors for an extensive list of all colours. Also this tutorial http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/12499-make-some-gold-text/ may help getting a realistic gold frame, just use the tutorial as a rough guide.

david.atwell Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Part of the true "gold" color isn't so much its color but its reflectivity, which is impossible to replicate but possible to simulate on the web. LFC4EVER's tutorial (which Nitenurse79 linked to) gives a pretty good approximation; I'd also recommend looking into some other color options, such as metallic gold (which is discussed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_(color)#Gold_.28metallic_gold.29) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
