Hi

Pearl Light Gold is the perfect color I'd like for some tiles. Unfortunately
it doesn't exist anymore.
I found brick yellow, which is pretty good. Maybe a bit light though.

Is there anything better?

Thanks

  What about regular pearl gold?


Pearl Light Gold is almost Tan, just a bit shimmery; Pearl Gold is far too dark.
See Minifig (sw0010):
 
Minifig No: sw0010 Name: C-3PO - Pearl Light Gold
* 		sw0010 (Inv) C-3PO - Pearl Light Gold
Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 4/5/6

  Yeah, I'm just a bit confused as the only parts in Pearl Light Gold are minifig related (according to the catalog) so I'm just guessing that OP had some early Pearl Gold tiles that look like PLG since the colour has gone through many changes over the years


Or some old Q Parts.

Depends on what you mean by "better". Chrome gold exists:

 
Minifig No: col161 Name: Mr. Gold, Series 10 (Minifigure Only without Stand and Accessories)
* 		col161 (Inv) Mr. Gold, Series 10 (Minifigure Only without Stand and Accessories)
Minifigures: Collectible Minifigures: Series 10 Minifigures

That might not necessarily be better, although I'm okay with it personally.



Cheers ...

Thank you to all for your answers!
Actually, I thought PLG was a color for regular bricks back in the day, I saw
it in Stud.io. I saw it in the list of colors on another Lego website and thought
I could get it!
So brick yellow (tan) turns out to be the closest, definitely

Studio can filter parts by colour:
https://studiohelp.bricklink.com/hc/en-us/articles/5705572363159-Parts-prices-and-availability#Building_Palette

You can also use the colour guide here: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogColors.asp
(hover over the green Market icon, click “Color Guide”).
The first number (Parts) already gives you the number of parts that exist in
each colour, but if you click on it, you’ll see them all.

That colour is not only not used any more, it was also only used for a few minifigures.
Finding ANY bricks or tiles in this colour will be nearly impossible.
