THE GOLDS

Gold colors

Golds are the warm yellows, from pale straw through deep antique, and one of the largest families. There are 205 named golds across twelve shades, running widest at the pale end, and every one of them reads warm and takes black text. They also print unusually well: three in four come back from CMYK within what a press holds.

Of the 16.8 million colors in sRGB, 205 golds carry a name. The ones in the lists designers and developers reach for.
