Gothic Gold

PPG1208-7

Gothic Gold has a deep ochre-gold body with a brown-orange base. It feels old-world in a dining room, study, or on built-ins with substantial hardware. This is a strong color.

Cream trim gives relief, and dark green textiles keep the yellow grounded. In low light, the brown side becomes more obvious, which can be handsome but may flatten in a tight hallway.
