Old gold (#CFB53B) is a mid-tone warm shade that appears across 19 master palettes in our corpus, most prominently in the work of Mikhail Larionov, Auguste Herbin, and Alphonse Allais and the Post-Impressionism tradition. Master painters paired it most often with Zinnwaldite brown (#2C1608), Raisin black (#242124), and Sap green (#507D2A). The combination forms a sun-bleached, daylight chord, spans a mixed temperature range, with a moderate step down in value that keeps the source forward.
