Tips for pairing them

Use white as the base and gold for details: lamps, frames, flatware or jewelry. In fashion, a white dress with gold sandals and jewelry is perfect for summer. At home, white walls with gold faucets and handles look elegant. Add beige or wood so it does not feel cold.

Contrast between them: 2.1:1. Don’t put text in one color on the other: it’s hard to read.
