Here's a guess:

The "black" is actually a 1:1 mix of Chaos Black and Codex Grey.  Wash with Badab Black.  Edge highlight with 1:2 mix of Choas Black and Codex Grey.

Lights are probably orange nasecoat, highlighted Yellow, then white.

"Gold" is probably a basecoat of Scorched brown and Shining Gold.  Wash with Gryphonne Sepia.  Highlight with Shining Gold, then edge highlight with Shining Gold and Mithril Silver.

Regal blue on the highlights followed by just a touch of codex grey gives a nice tint.
I don't make the rules, I just think them up and write them down.

Gray washed with badab black and a little blue mixed in there somewhere, probably before the wash. That's my 2 cents.
