Eminent Bronze

SW 6412

Eminent Bronze is a deep, muted bronze-brown with distinct yellow-green undertones that give it an organic, earthy character. Its LRV of 14 means it absorbs considerable light, making it best used as an accent wall, in studies, or in well-lit spaces with ample natural light. It pairs effectively with Sherwin-Williams Wool Skein, Sanderling, Sawdust, Rustic City, and Roycroft Vellum, which provide lighter warm counterpoints that prevent the space from feeling too dark or heavy.
