old gold

Brownish yellow shade

Old gold is a dark, muted shade of yellow-brown resembling tarnished or aged gold metal.

The color appears frequently in school colors, team uniforms, and vintage design schemes: The university's colors are old gold and black.

It suggests antiquity, warmth, and understated richness rather than the bright gleam of polished gold.
