Classic Bronze

N310-7

Classic Bronze is a dark olive-brown, more aged metal than bright green. The bronze note is quiet. It suits cabinets, a study wall, or exterior trim where the color should feel grounded and mature.

In shade, it can read nearly brown. Sunlight reveals the yellow-green undertone. Pair with limestone, black iron, or warm white paint so the finish has depth without getting muddy.
