Re: Gold
I'm guessing it could be Moon Gold. White gold with the appropriate glaze can look quite similar but I'd try the Moon gold first.

Re: Gold
I wondered if it could be champagne?
Seems sweeter, more a hint of mandarin in the shades than moongold. But perhaps I ought to defer to your (much) greater knowledge. Silver with a warm wash could be.
Thanks, Dermott. Much appreciated.

Re: Gold
Sorry, 'never thought of Champagne!
It has a warmer tone, so it's going to be hard to tell from a photo.
You could just order a book of 5 leaves of each, from GoldLeafSupplies or ask if they do a book of sample leaves. I get my gold from Habberley Meadows and they do a book of samples.

Re: Gold
Thanks, Dermot.
They sent a book, very efficiently and I may have the candidate — their 12 ct is warmer than I had anticipated. They were a pleasure to deal with and my pockets are empty once more.
Very kind of you to share the recommendation.

Re: Gold
Hi Dermot,
After fairly exhaustive experimentation and tganks to your gold supplier lead, I have come to the conclusion that it is a shellac wash, possibly with a dye, on 12ct. Well, that’s the next avenue to explore
