Yellow Ochre
Mineral weight distinguishes #CCA01D from sunny yellows. Yellow Ochre looks grounded because red and a small amount of blue temper its gold.

Yellow ochre has a long material history as an earth pigment, though real samples vary with their source and preparation. This page uses one clear digital interpretation rather than a universal formula.
Ultramarine turns it into a painter's contrast. Terracotta builds a close earthen range, while chalk plaster makes the ochre look older and quieter—useful for museum notes, ceramics, or material studies.
For this digital sample, the three channels read 204, 160, and 29. Together they place #CCA01D firmly in dry, earthen gold.
