    Old Gold is definitely one of my favorite pigments. It is a mermaid color in that it has a smooth darkened gold appearance gilded with slight green and brown shimmer. It is not a simple gold and...

    Hm, how do I describe this delightful shade? It’s more of a Bronze that borders and flashes a lovely green. Like all pigments, a little goes a long way! This is one of the finer milled pigments...

    I can see what all the good reviews are for. As previously stated, Old Gold is definitely Green Brown's lighter sister. It has a great shine to it, almost metallic like and is very versatile. To...

    Old Gold is such a stunning color, not at all what I thought it would be! It's super frosty and I was suprised by the flash of green. I wore it today, and I think it really made my blue eyes pop....

    This is a stunning, understated color. They really captured the color of actual old money in this pigment. It's a tarnished gold color that flashes green. Applied wet, the green really flashes. I...

    GORRRRGEOUS colour! A stunning but wearable shimmery true gold that switches to a chartreusey green in the literal blink of an eye. So beautiful you really have to try it for yourself. I use it...

    I got this as a sample and I was suprised because it doesn't really look gold-it's more of a very tarnished gold. Similar to green brown, but lighter and with more gold/brown undertones. Very...

    This was rather disappointing to me. I like the dual color aspect, but it's just not pretty. Plus I've discovered pigments are just too darn much work for me.

    mollypocket described this perfectly: it's green brown's lighter slightly more golden younger sibling. It looks kind of how gold would look if it went as green as copper does when it ages. Pretty!

    This is a very unique color. On me I see green/ yellow (very similar to the green eyes of a black cat). It really is a cool coloring, it's just hard for me to find companion shadows. Others have...

    In the pot, this color looks almost identical to Green Brown. When its on though, its a beautiful golden tan that flashes green. Basically its just a lighter version of Green Brown, imo. I love...

    This is my favorite pigment. It's very shimmery and is a truly unique color. It goes on green but reflects both green and brown at different angles. I also dab a bit of it in the center on my lips...

    I love this pigment. I do not think that it is very versatile, but is a very unique shade of reddish brown with lime green and gold shimmer. Every time I wear it people comment on the color. Wear...

    Old gold looks similar to Golden Olive in the pot. It is an antiqued gold colour that flashes tan, gold, vanilla depending on the light. <BR><BR> I am Asian Olive toned and this looks absolutely...

    Not your average gold. It is gold but shines brown so a tricky color. Rich pigment. Maybe too rich for the day. "Golden Olive" and "Old Gold" eyes makes me feel like a clown. But I have received...
