It's very difficult to simulate metallic colors on screen, and even harder to
get them by printing on paper.

You can try the color settings shown in the table under the heading "The Problem
with Metallic Colors" at http://web.njit.edu/~kevin/rgb.txt.html. Put the three
numbers in the "R;G;B Dec" column into the Red, Green, and Blue boxes of the
Font > Font Color > More Colors > Custom dialog.

As that page says, though, "These metallics are, IMHO, lame."
