Sherwin Williams

Superior Bronze

SW 6152

Superior Bronze is a dark, warm brown with yellow undertones that give it a bronze-like quality. Its LRV of 15 indicates it absorbs most ambient light, making it a strong choice for accent walls, studies, or smaller rooms where depth and contrast are needed. The hex value #786957 shows a muted, earthy tone with olive-brown leanings.

Because of its low reflectance, it typically requires pairing with lighter values to maintain visual balance. Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige, Wool Skein, Golden Fleece, Restrained Gold, and Naval all work as coordinating colors in both tonal and contrasting schemes.
