Benjamin Moore

Antique Bronze

217

Antique Bronze is a deep warm yellow ochre with visible yellow and brown undertones that give it a distinctly earthy character. Its LRV of 34.45 places it in the medium-dark range, absorbing more light than it reflects, so it tends to close in a room and works best with adequate natural or layered artificial light. Hale Navy and Hunter Green both provide strong complementary contrast on accent walls or cabinetry.

For a more tonal approach, Windham Cream and Chestertown Buff share its warm base and create a graded neutral sequence alongside it.

Antique 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
