I am looking for some clear examples of the Gold lego colour and was hoping someone
might be able to provide some examples to help me distinguish between them.


Chrome Gold
Flat Dark Gold
Pearl Gold
Pearl Light Gold
Metallic Gold
Speckle Black-Gold

Many thanks in advance for your time and efforts to photograph and post your
examples so I might be able ti better distinguish between then and correctly
inventory them.

gold but the one on the left is a darker shade then the one on the right.

There are currently two different shades of pearl gold that you will find interchangeably
within sets and between different boxes of the same set. And there is a third
more pearly color that used to run under that name. You are showing the current
shades there.

Metallic gold is painted. It is shiny, but not reflective. Chrome gold is mirror
shiny. The other colors you named as practically irrelevent as far as I am concerned.

You might want to take a look at Ryan Howerter's site http://ryanhowerter.net/colors.php
when you click on a color it takes you to examples on his flickr page.
