What Colors Go Well With Gold?

Everyone knows that the color gold is associated with wealth, prosperity, luxury, and royalty—that is why it’s used as a symbol on first-place medals, as a relic in religious ceremonies, and for years, why a gold reserve was equivalent to a country’s economic power.

And as far as interior design goes, the color gold equals sophistication, refinement, and warmth. At Rebarts Blinds & Shades, our design experts love the fact that gold is a 2025 color trend. But for window treatments, what color matches with your gold design elements?

Gold accents are a 2025 color palette highlight in fashion and interior design. But what kind of gold is popular? Gold tones range from butter yellow golds to rich 24k metallics with lustrous finishes.

Choosing the gold tone that you enjoy the most helps bring a fresh perspective that adds brightness to your interior spaces, evoking energy and excitement.

Your gold palette can include jewel-toned pops of color, like purple and indigo; earthy fresh greens and maroon work as well. Other colors in this palette include warm golden tones, burnt oranges, and browns.

We suggest using gold as accents and keeping the more neutral tones on walls and flooring. Custom window treatments like draperies can bring in those brighter or more patterned color applications as an accent.

The 2025 color palette shares space with neutrals, too. A wide range of light beiges, creamy tans, and deep browns tones pair beautifully with gold fixtures and furnishings:

• Caramel color tones create an elegant, unassuming backdrop that lets gold shine without competing for attention.
• Oatmeal and flax shades are lighter than caramel but warmer than white, and they offer contrast for gold hardware.
• Mushroom tones with slight taupe undertones complement gold particularly well; they gently balance cool and warm elements.
• Champagne-hued tones have gold undertones that catch light beautifully and create a connected backdrop for stronger gold elements.
• Butterscotch-y beiges are somewhat deeper than basic beige, which echoes the warmth of gold.
• Burnished taupe is a sophisticated neutral with golden undertones creates depth and dimension when paired with metallic gold accents.

Hunter Douglas custom window treatments come in different styles and materials that allow gold design elements to shine, as well as gold-toned hardware options that tie your window coverings and the other elements together.
