How do I make gold, silver or chrome colors

I would like to give presentations the shine from gold or silver

If using PPT 2002-2003 you can simulate to a degree with custom fill of
multiple colors (deep yellow/gold and softer yellow). Better would be to
create the graphic elements in something like PhotoShop where you have more
gradient control and filters and then import the graphics.

Native PowerPoint offers gold, silver, brass as gradient pre-sets.

Click on an autoshape to select it, then click on Format, Autoshape.
On the color tab, click the drop down arrow and select fill effects.
On the gradient tab, click preset and click the preset colors drop down arrow.
Gold, Silver and Brass are near the bottom.

You can use gradient colors for autoshapes and backgrounds.
You can also get to the color settings through the color icon (paint bucket)
in the bottom toolbar.

Having said all that, Troy's recommendation will probably enable you to
create a much nicer effect, but if PPT is all you have, the above should work
ok.

google:
