Unless your printer has the unlikely option of a gold coloured ink, the best
you can achieve is a custom colour with RGB values of 199 177 25
respectively. It still looks like pale yellow to me!

I have seen gold foil that can be applied with a laser printer.

I've never used it but I remembered seeing it in their catalogs years ago.

Hi Graham,
and pale yellow it is.
I've made up the explanation for me,
that "gold" isn't a color at all,
but a matter of the surface structure.
If the surface is reflecting light
and the color is pale yellow,
then it is called "gold".

Hi Sally:
No. "Gold" is one of the colours that is outside the CMYK colour standard,
non-professional printers can't reproduce it.
But you can have your document printed by a commercial print bureau that can
use actual gold ink.
Use the colour recommended by Graham, then save the file and take it to a
commercial printer. Tell them you want them to make colour separations from
your document and use gold ink for that colour.
Notes: They will probably have to order in the gold ink, so give them at
least two weeks.
They will have to clean their printing press afterwards, so don't expect a
discount.
Take the fonts you used in the document with you: Print shops often use
Macintosh computers that are utterly helpless without the exact font files
used in the document.
Cheers

Thanks for your helpful advice - the colour when printed on cream paper will
probably do the job!!!
