was asking what colors I used to paint gold objects. My answer of course, as always, ended up being TL;DR and probably pretty confusing. - The long and the short of it: Totally depends on the surroundings of the gold object.

THIS.
THIS is what I have been looking for all this time! To finally UNDERSTAND how to represent metallic objects.
Thank you so much for this tutorial, it is very helpful to me. Your explanations are very concise and clear, and I can't wait to try this out.
Can I ask you for a bit of advice? Say you were painting a piece of gold that was supposed to be out in the open - that is, the main source of light would be the sun in a blue sky, with plants to produce different kind of shadows; how would you change the colours for that? In this tutorial, you've only used artificial light, which inevitably ends up dimming everything a bit. I'm sorta stuck figuring out whether I need to make the colour transitions in the metal reflections more vivid/sharp for sunlight, or more blended (I hope you get what I mean, it's kinda hard to explain
I can't promise I used it very effectively, but it at least gave me some ideas on how to deal with reflective metals.
Oh, sorry to be spamming.
And at least no I have some idea of how to go about it.
