Army colors?

I've got black and white, but the gold/yellow color seems to be eluding me. I'm wrapping a rod for a 3 star general and I'm trying to get the colors as close as I can. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Thanks,
Terry

If its the color I think it is, gudebrod gold with 2 good coats of CP will work nicely.

EDIT>> thats the non metallic version

This sponsor here sells the maderia color chart. I think its a must for anyone who is serious about rod building, if you ask nice they have been known to ship things for the cost of the stamp, so you dont have to pay more for the shipping than the chart.
