Hi Sharon:

I would use Old Gold but I think that this may be my personal preference. However, what if you put all the colors together, the cream, the pale pink and the lavender and try adding the different shades of gold and see what your eyes tell you. Maybe put together a collage of papers in all the shades, if possible. You may come up with a masterpiece.

I would be consistent when choosing the color. In other words either shiny or old but not both.

Best of luck. Post pictures please.

:)

Good point Annabell! I bought 3 different golds today-so will do as you suggested. Methinks I'm probably going to want the Classic shiny gold as I'm doing the walls in a castle block stone look-in shades of tan, taupe,pink, with mortar lines (base coat) in a brownish color and the brighter gold will show up better on all of the lighting fixtures, etc. There'll be arched windows around the room in which I'm painting different scenes from the Cinderella story in each window. Will post pics when all is completed. Thanks for your suggestions!
