depends on what kind of gold effect you want. and also it is important what the background or complementary color(s) is/are..
- Crouwel0
ie on a white background a different shade will be more effective then on a black background..

if you want it to read as gold rather than golden yellow, you're going to have to illustrate the effect of gold (eg: reflecting it's environmental lighting)
look at some reference images and go from there.
converting a metallic to CMYK will give you a shit brown.

Someone just help the man!
First off - I'm probably not the best person to listen to.
That said, last time I had to effect gold leaf, i used a colour in the range of c33, m43, y89, k18, with a slight tonal gradient, then a white-alpha gradient sheen over the top to mimic shinyness.

erm..
I do recall having to use this quite dark colour as the subject had reflective quality and was reflecting something dark - obviously it'd've been the opposite way around had the picture been reflecting lightly.
If that makes any sense?
