Gold

Gold (#EFBF04) is a true amber with a warm character. It leans warm, pulling light toward red, orange, and yellow. Naturally inviting, it suits editorial and hospitality contexts. Its HSL profile (48°, 97%, 48%) places it in the highly saturated band at a mid lightness. Best used in small doses, like logos, CTAs, focus rings, or highlight text, where its saturation becomes a feature rather than noise. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary blue. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel. The CSS keyword Gold — R=255, G=215, B=0 — a rich yellow meant to evoke metallic gold without the actual luster. Close to the color of 24-karat leaf under warm indoor light.
