That looks kind of chartreuse on my screen. I would add more red, I think
(in fact, I have to run it all the way up to 255 to get something that looks
"gold" to me).
I recently made a graphic that was supposed to be gold on red, and the color
I used (in Publisher) was Accent 2 (Gold), which is 225, 204, 0).

While I agree with Suzanne that inkjets don't simulate "metallic"
colors very well, you can try the RGB combination R=217, G=217, B=25.
To enter this, click the More Colors item at the bottom of the font
color dropdown, click the Custom tab, and type the numbers in the
boxes.

You're unlikely to find a single color that will really much resemble
metallic gold, and since fonts in Word can't be formatted with a
gradient,
you'll have to settle for a single color, which will be a sort of
orangey-yellow. There are only two ways that I know of to get true
metallic
gold:
1. Use a desktop printer that takes a gold ink cartridge in place of
black.
In this case, you set the type as black (Automatic) as usual, but it
comes
out gold.
2. Ditto for a commercial printer. You set the copy in black, and he
prints
it with gold ink.

I am writing up a 50th wedding invitation and would like the type to be
in
gold. What combinations of colors should I try? I have a Lexmark 1150
printer.
