Mary,
Having not seen your image, my guess would be to be prepared to represent a broad range of values and hues in the gold. Various ochers and raw umber should work for most of this. It is kind of like representing hair colors. If the gold is highly burnished, then it is essentially a mirror with a golden cast. Ultimately, what colors the gold leaf needs to be depends on the context of its surroundings and the quality and focus of the light which strikes or illuminates it.
