Can I use Greenish Gold instead of Gold?

Not as a straight swap; see the closer alternatives below. Loose match (ΔE 25). Greenish Gold is noticeably lighter, much more muted, cooler than Gold.

Can I use Gold instead of Greenish Gold?

The same difference applies the other way round: Gold is noticeably darker, much more saturated, warmer.

ΔE is the colour difference between our two swatch estimates: under about 6 is close, over about 15 is loose. Real paints also differ in finish, coverage and how they thin, so test before you commit.
