I am right now experimenting with ancient-looking gold, and I have
somehow succeeded in changing the color for brighter parts. The ancient
gold should look a little browhish in darker parts and greenish in
highlights. I achieved this by first making a brownish gold texture and
then adding 100% transclusent layer over it with greenish color and
highlights that spread wide. This way the brighter parts get the green
color - that is totally invisible everywhere else than the highlight.

Attached is a quick demonstration of the the technique.
