Sherwin Williams

Urbane Bronze

SW 7048

Urbane Bronze is a deep, dark neutral brown with soft charcoal and green-gray undertones that shift depending on lighting conditions. At an LRV of 8, it absorbs nearly all ambient light, making it a high-saturation anchor color that reads as near-black in low-light settings. It is commonly used on accent walls, exterior siding, cabinetry, and architectural trim where strong contrast is required.

The color grounds natural materials such as wood, stone, and leather effectively. It works well alongside Sherwin-Williams Shoji White and Greek Villa for sharp contrast, and with Dried Thyme or Sage for analogous earth-toned compositions.
