Benjamin Moore

Aged Bronze

231

Aged Bronze by Benjamin Moore is a deep brown with strong yellow undertones, placing it firmly in the warm neutral category. With an LRV of 15.64, it is a dark color that absorbs most ambient light, making it suitable for accent walls, wood-paneled studies, or smaller rooms where a dense, concentrated tone is appropriate. It pairs naturally with lighter Benjamin Moore neutrals like White Dove and Edgecomb Gray to provide needed contrast, while Hale Navy or Hunter Green can build a rich, layered scheme alongside it.

Aged Bronze in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
