Not the paint codes but here's where you can get Candy Gold.  Not cheap but very good quality.  Also comes with the silver base paint.

In addition, you can get EXCELLENT water-based Honda paint colors in the UK -- closer than having to buy from the US.

Is this for a CB750? If so, there were two different shades of candy gold used in the early days. Problem is that Honda didn’t publish the formulas to mix them. However, there is some information available.     

Candy Gold: the K0 and K1 used Y2C as a paint can code and CQ at the end of the part number.

Candy Gold Custom: the K2 used Y2C-C as a paint can code and LX at the end of the part number.

Photo below is a loose comparison between the two shades of gold.
