What color do you get when you mix gold with green?

it depends and differs slightly, if you are using acrylic paints or oil colors. But, all in all (this is especially the case in oils) because gold (as well as silver and bronze) does not usually mix well with most earthy pigments the result will be the almost total loss of luster and shine coming from the gold and the mixture turning into a murky kind of brown. If you must go for this use the lightest green possible and the brightest gold possible and of course use acrylics. The reason behind this phenomena is that the pigments in both colors are not really compatible, since the golds are usually made out of fully synthetic materials while the greens are more natural...this incompatibility leads to a disruption of light absorption in the final mixed color...making it murky and uneven

Try until you're satisfied. It's tricky though. For one thing, the pigments in paint chemically react with each other in ways you can't always predict. So mixing a certain red and a certain yellow, for example, won't necessarily give you the orange you expect. Also, once you get the color you want, you'll need to make sure that you're mixing more than enough paint for the WHOLE job. Because if you try to re-mix the same tone later, you will never, ever get it. Even the pros can't usually get it exactly right.

I depends on how much gold and how much green you put together. Do you mean equal parts of each? But it also depends on whether you use pale light green or a dark intense green or whatever. But in any case, you'll end up with a greenish-gold or a gold with a greenish tint. Best thing to do is try it and see!

.You get a metallic, glittery, goldish kind of green. I mix gold with normal colours a lot, for that extra something in my paintings! You should try it! Silver works even better.

yellow and green make blue
SO! you may have to figure how some brown (from the gold) is going to figure in your picture--
It will depend on WHICH ONE you use the MOST of.
Try more gold, then a LIGHT touch of green.
Try green with a LIGHT touch of gold.
can't think it would look too nice, tho.
