#E7C697
Crayola color
Overview
Crayola's gold is a soft, tan-like metallic approximation rather than a brilliant yellow: rgb(231, 198, 151), hex #E7C697. With red high, green moderate, and blue lower, it registers as a 35-degree hue at low saturation and high brightness — a pale, muted warm tone. It is one of the metallic-named colors in the Crayola crayon range. Where the CSS gold keyword is a brilliant #FFD700 yellow, the Crayola rendering is a subdued, sandy gold, a pigment attempt at the metal's softer, matte appearance. Because a flat RGB triplet cannot capture the sheen of metal, the crayon relies on this muted, sandy value to suggest gold, standing well apart from the brilliant #FFD700 of the web keyword.
Gold (#E7C697) in the Crayola palette is a warm, muted golden-tan that captures a more naturalistic, earthy interpretation of gold than the bright CSS gold. It resembles the color of raw honey, dried corn husks, or antique gilt frames with a patina—less dazzling than metallic gold, but richer and more organic. It suits craft projects, autumnal palettes, and vintage illustration styles.
