I've gotten a Word every day this week.

Got them all and as Anu did not give a sample link for subfusc,
subfusc -- nice word, but pretty gloomy and severe.

Olly, I'll still search for some gold.

one of my favorite Crayola® crayons was burnt sienna (from the Big Box).

There's a lot of that in autumn coloring. The difficulty with finding the right shade (color) of yellow is that it should be set in a usage where it is used metaphorically, if one fairly follows Anu's choices.

I like the fall food colors: pumpkin, spice, saffron, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, toast, pecan, squash, apple, tomato, burgundy; all yummy colors, and there's a ton more! :0)

Allright, I found some golden dots of autum, with references.

aureolin hue

autumn clematis

Quoted from a blog somewhere:

AUREOLIN BOXES
—dawn di bartolo, citrus heights

as an artist shapes
canvas into self-portrait,

i’d found poetry to be…
golden

~ words,

Our Autumn colors today are covered in three inches of snow,
and you think subfusc is a gloomy word!

I personally despise the stuff: falls, freezes, stays until
April. Turns black. Why do you love it so much?
(They had pink snow in the Australian Alps a week or so ago.)

Take piece of paper, get box of Crayola's, take out burnt umber, burnt sienna, orange, cadmium and crimson red, pinks and yellows and go abstract with it.
