Reminiscent of luxury, success, achievement, triumph, royalty, and fortune, the color Gold is named after the precious metal of the same name. The meaning of the color Gold is multifaceted, often denoting generosity and compassion, as well as being synonymous with divinity and power in many religious settings.
Gold pairs well with bright hues like orange and yellow for a golden color palette, as well as colors connected to nature such as greens and blues. To create a dramatic and luxurious effect, it's frequently paired with black. This color pairing is widely used in printing where techniques such as foil printing further emphasize the elements.
