gold
A dark yellow facade color with or without metallic reflectivity, represented by the reference hex triplet FFD700.
Gold is a dark yellow color which may or may not have the reflective shininess associated with real gold. It is approximately the color of most honey. It is common for precast concrete, and sometimes found in brick; occasionally used in all-glass facades.
Hex triplet: FFD700
Metallic shine is optional, so concrete or brick can have this color. The darker, duller goldenrod is a separate shade. The hex triplet is a comparison sample for a range of similar facade colors, rather than an exact-match requirement.
