The color is a pale gold but to get it you will have to mix gold and silver paint at about 40% silver to 60% gold, you may need to mix several varying the amount of silver until you get the correct color tone. A good paint for doing this would be Vallejo's Liquid gold and silver paint but beware they are an alcohol based paint and if any water gets into them it will ruin them. Spraying with an airbrush will get the best results and do all cleaning with isoprop alcohol.
