A standard EMD "yellow" - DL&W expert modelers swear that Accupaint
Light Imitation Gold is dead-on correct.

What year? :)  They had at least two different shades, perhaps three.

Who knows! Supposedly, the Microscale DL&W set is matched to the
aforementioned Accupaint color.

Not easily - it involved dithering to get the appropriate color, and in
the smaller scales (and even O scale, for that matter) you get a bit of
noticable "dots"

The only real way to do it is correctly match ink and silk screen or pad
print it.
