Kodak Gold 200 genuinely earns its name. It produces a naturally warm, golden tone that holds up beautifully without any white-balance correction. After shooting it across different lighting conditions, I’ve found its color profile remarkably consistent – clean, warm, and true to the scene. This is where it stands apart from Portra 400, which often needs color adjustments to achieve the look people expect. What’s even more impressive is that, despite being far more affordable, Gold’s results can be surprisingly close to Portra in many situations. The samples on this page are shown exactly as scanned, with no WB correction, so you can see the film’s true character as it really renders.
