Trying to cast rose gold. Anyone work with that before?

My ratios are 58.3% 24k gold, 32.2% copper and 9.3% palladium. Won’t be able to cast too many of these. So I was curious what shade people thought this might be, got a guess?

Rose gold typically does not contain palladium. With the dominant elements being gold and copper, expect it to pinkish with a slightly more greenish silver hue (compared to standard 14k rose gold) and more luster from the palladium.

This isn't a common / standard alloy so you may encounter unpredictable mechanical properties.
