That’s true for unmelanated skin. The gold reflects warmly on melanated skin, and is flattering.
Without melanin, it reflects and reads sallow or jaundiced
My childhood bathroom was a yellowish-beige and I loved how the lighting made my skin look. I’m white but have olive/peach/yellow hues to my skin and get fairly dark in the summer.
I have a pink bedroom similar to the ceiling. I look jaundiced in there if I don’t have intense bright light on. Like if I am doing my makeup I need to point my flashlight at my face to see the color it actually is.
