Arlington Bronze

P053

Arlington Bronze is a deep golden brown, more aged saddle leather than metallic bronze. It brings weight fast. It works on an entry door, lower cabinets, or a small den with layered lighting.

Its yellow-orange base becomes obvious beside cool grays. Pair it with limestone, black iron, or warm white walls for steadiness. In matte paint, expect scuffs to show on high-touch surfaces.

Arlington 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.
