Talk:Gold (color)

message: The RGB coordinates of yellow are 255 255 0. Can you define gold as a mixture of yellow and black (0 0 0) with equal amounts?? (This would be 128 128 0.) 66.32.76.46 01:58, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: I noticed somebody put a school section 'schools whose colors include gold' or some such as that. I personally don't think it belongs on here because for one thing the number of schools that have a color(s) to represent themselves must be over a couple of thousand (not mentioning those that have the color gold) and for another to list them on the color page itself, this seems best suited to be on the school page (if it's not already). Just my thoughts on this.. --ImmortalGoddezz 21:54, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I do not think it belongs there either, there are simply too many schools that use gold. I do think the mention of the color gold in school colors should be mentioned to note that that some schools in recent years have switched to a metallic gold, whole others use a non-metallic gold. I'm wearing a non-metallic gold school shirt right now, it's hard to match the color of the shirt to the color of the screen, but it looks closest to an amber.--RLent 19:37, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Do you mean without coat of arms? Because other nations with a coat of arms in their flags have gold. eg. Spain and Portugal...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.171.129.79 (talk) 13:34, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Belgium and Germany the only ones with gold in their flags?

message: The appearance of the surface of a gold object perceived by the eye depends on the surface's angle with respect to the eye and the light source (the object), in other words it is like a mirror; a flat sheet of gold behaves like a flat mirror and a curved gold object (say a ring) distorts like a curved mirror.  Gold and mirror (silver) ar both highly reflective. But there is one difference: gold is selective in which colours it absorbs and which it reflects, with a preference for absorbing all except a range around yellow, hence the impression of yellow where we would expect a mirror surface to show the true colour.
There is no such thing as the colour gold - hence the need to use metallic particles in gold paint to give the effect.  Photographing or painting a gold object is no problem: the camera reproduces what it "sees" and the artist hopefully paints what he sees.  But try photocopying a gold object.
A silver mirror is better than a gold one because it is more true in what it reflects.

message: Reference 4 (Old Gold) is identical to reference 5 (Vegas Gold). This cannot be right. The data for two different colours should refer to different pages. The links do not indicate the page numbers, so there is no clue there. Does anybody have access to the book to check which pages and plate numbers are relevant?/ 83.251.136.67 (talk) 00:56, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

I don't see any evidence that these colors are discussed in this article and plan to delete them from the list per this discussion: Talk:List_of_colors#New_approach_to_review_of_entries
If someone decides that these colors should have a section in this article and it is added, I would appreciate a ping.--S Philbrick(Talk) 15:00, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
