And then there are foil stamps, very nice high-end stuff. There are a few different ways to try to pull-off a gold look. Aside from the gradients already mentioned, you could try a flat color like 30C, 100Y. But, you've left the discussion wide open when you neglected to specify what exactly it is you are trying to do. I'd use Illustrator per Neil's suggestion if you plan on using a spot gold or a foil stamp or a gradient because all of the elements can remain vector for sizing flexibility.
