Lighter chartreuse-gold, cleaner than Buried Gold
About Gold Tooth
Gold Tooth reads like a mint-leaning metallic token viewed under fluorescent deli lights. It's a deeper, more saturated gold than Deli Yellow, so it doesn't feel airy or bakery-soft. And compared to Golden Frame, it has less "structured frame edge" energy and more weight in the pigment, without sliding into that straw-dry look of Indian Pale Ale.
I use Gold Tooth when I want "gold" to show up as a punchy highlight but stay in the Green family, especially in green-family interfaces where the rest of the UI is fresh and clean. It's great for CPG work like deal badges, shelf-ready price callouts, and product state markers over bright greens and pale creams. It's also the one you reach for when accents need to feel richer than straw and less honeyed than typical boutique gold.
Quick note: because it's warm and dense, it can overpower very cool grays. If that happens, give it a slightly warmer off-white neighbor so it reads intentional, not muddy.
