Benjamin Moore

Autumn Bronze

2162-10

Autumn Bronze is a deep warm brown with orange undertones and a noticeable gold bias that separates it from cooler or redder browns. Its LRV of 13.64 confirms it as a low-reflectance color best suited for accent applications or rooms where a darker more enclosed feeling is desired. The gold element becomes more apparent under warm artificial lighting.

Autumn Bronze pairs effectively with Hale Navy and Hunter Green for high-contrast combinations while Muslin and Potters Clay provide closely related warm neutrals that support it without competing.
