citrine
A somewhat dark grayish-yellow facade color, more neutral than gold, represented by hex triplet E4D00A.
Citrine is a dark shade of yellow with some gray mixed in. It can appear to be yellowish brown, but is more neutral in tone than gold or goldenrod. It is used in some forms of precast concrete, and is not uncommon on facades as a paint color.
Hex triplet: E4D00A
Citrine can appear yellow-brown while remaining within the yellow family. It is less warmly tinted than gold or goldenrod. The hex triplet is a comparison sample for a range of similar facade colors, rather than an exact-match requirement.
