Gold Color for PowerPoint 1

[bsquared18]

I have Adobe Illustrator 9 and was wondering what the best way is to get a truly gold color for an image that will be used on a PowerPoint slide. Is there a hex number that is recommended? Or for a truly gold color (as opposed to just yellow), is something special required?

Thanks!

You can't achieve a true gold colour from the screen. It's a matallic which gives it the look.

You will have to use tricks to get it even close, i.e lighting effects reflections etc, otherwise it's just going to look like a flat yuckie colour.

Gold in the Pantone book is numbers (coated):
871, 872, 873, 874, 875, 876

bsquared18,

Powerpoint has some in-built fill-effects. Two of which are called gold. It's a simulated graduated fill effect.

Or create your own in illustrator, then export them as .wmf, which powerpoint can import
