Suntan Bronze

1217

Suntan Bronze is a medium-dark bronze with orange undertones that add warmth and depth. Its LRV of 25.52 gives it a grounded, enveloping appearance. It is well suited for living rooms, libraries, and dining spaces.

The undertones prevent it from reading gray or flat. It pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore Manchester Tan and warm creams, while Hale Navy and Carolina Gull introduce contrast.

Suntan 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.
