What color is rose gold?<\/span><\/h2>\n

In a CMYK color space, it is composed of 0% cyan, 39.9% magenta, 33.9% yellow, and 28.2% black. If you\u2019re designing for web, the closest rose gold websafe color is #cc6666. Rose gold has RGB values of R:183, G:110, B:121 and CMYK values of C:0, M:0.4, Y:0.34, K:0.28.<\/p>\n

Rose gold is historically known for its use in fine jewelry like engagement rings and was a popular color in Russia in the 1800s, often referred to as \u201cRussian gold.\u201d A famous example of this is the Faberge egg of rose gold color commissioned by Tzar Nicholas II for his wife, Empress Alexandra as an Easter gift in 1913. Another famed piece of rose gold fine jewelry is Cartier\u2019s Trinity Ring<\/i>. Jean Cocteau, the acclaimed French writer, is known for wearing this ring on his pinkie.<\/p>\n

How do you make rose gold?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Rose gold is a metallic color that lives in the pink spectrum on the color wheel<\/a>. If you\u2019re learning how to make rose gold color by mixing paints, you simply combine gold, silver, and red paint hues together to get a new color. You might also experiment with mixing red and white together to create pink, then adding gold and silver for added effect.<\/p>\n

\"example<\/p>\n

What colors go with rose gold?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Rose gold has an air of sophistication and playfulness, so it\u2019s easy to work with across a variety of design projects. You can create a unique rose gold color palette<\/a>, leveraging it in a soft, romantic background or as an eye-catching accent color on a black and white flyer. A little bit of rose gold can go a long way in your design when paired with the right color choices. So consider any of the following color combinations for your next rose gold color palette.<\/p>\n

Complementary colors<\/h3>\n

\"complementary<\/p>\n

The complementary color of rose gold, which is the color directly across from it on the color wheel, is gray (#6DB7AC). Gray creates an elegant background that allows the subtle undertones of the rose gold hue to truly shine. We like to pair rose gold with Dove Gray and slate gray<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Split complementary colors<\/h3>\n

\"split<\/p>\n

The split complementary color scheme offers most of the contrast of a complementary color scheme but without the saturation intensity. Combine rose gold with Frosted Emerald (#6DB787) and Bluebird Feather (#6D9DB7) for a cool rose gold color palette. The muted blue and green shades allow for the metallic nature of rose gold to truly pop.<\/p>\n

Analogous colors<\/h3>\n

\"analogous<\/p>\n

To create an analogous color scheme, pair rose gold with Light Brown (#B7876D) and Light Purple (#B76D9D).<\/p>\n

Triadic colors<\/h3>\n

\"triadic<\/p>\n

This color scheme produces a vibrant combination and consists of three colors spaced evenly (120\u00b0) apart on the color wheel. Combine rose gold with Bud Green (#78B76D) and Glaucous (#6D78B7) to create this scheme.<\/p>\n

You can also experiment with shades of blue like Royal Blue<\/a>, Pastel Aqua, Seafoam Blue, Wedgwood Blue, or Navy Blue to make rose gold radiate. You\u2019ll often see these color pairings in interior design and on wedding invitations because their combination lends a very elegant look.<\/p>\n

Tetradic colors<\/h3>\n

\"tetradic<\/p>\n

The Tetradic color scheme is made up of four colors spaced evenly (90\u00b0) apart on the color wheel. Pair rose gold with Bud Green (#78B76D), Larchmere (#6DB7AC), and Light Purple (#AC6DB7). Remember to balance warm and cold colors while using this scheme in your design. Due to its coppery nature, rose gold has a warm undertone so it pairs better with cool shades of purple like Lavender<\/a> rather than the warmer shade of Lilac<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Monochromatic colors<\/h3>\n

\"monochrome<\/p>\n

To create a\u00a0monochromatic palette<\/a> combine rose gold with its different shades and hues. Some of these include Pressed Flower (#C58B93) and Rose Dust (#A4636C).<\/p>\n

\"monochrome<\/p>\n

Is pink gold the same as rose gold?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Rose gold and pink gold are best known as metals made from a gold and copper alloy. Adding copper to gold adds a beautiful pinkish hue to the gold alloy due to the already bold pink-orange color of copper. While pink gold and rose gold are often used interchangeably, the difference between these names is the copper content: the higher the copper content, the stronger the pinkish-orange coloration. The content of copper in rose gold is higher than in pink gold, hence the deeper pinkish shade of rose gold. To compare:<\/p>\n

18K Rose Gold consists of 75% gold + 22.5% copper + 2.75% silver<\/p>\n

18K Pink Gold consists of 75% gold + 20% copper + 5% silver<\/p>\n
