Taking a cue from nature that inspires grounding and tranquility, Sherwin-Williams chose Urbane Bronze as its 2021 Color of the Year. The company says the warm brown tone “has a unique ability to ground a room,” and “draws from nature for a feeling of relaxation and serenity.” As an alternative to popular cool gray tones, Urbane Bronze pairs well with warmer accents like the brand’s Messenger Bag (a grayish-green), and warmer Modern Gray. Sherwin-Williams recommends juxtaposing Urbane Bronze with Carrara marble, travertine, or another pale natural stone, and adding shine with silver- or brass-toned finishes. These suggestions blend perfectly the most popular bathroom color trends we spotted in 2020.
Urbane Bronze also makes an excellent color for exteriors. Try it as a new front door color, or in porch accents. For a more permanent selection, the deep, warm brown is a unique selection for window color. Improveit’s partnership with Sherwin-Williams allows our customers to choose any Sherwin-Williams color for their windows, creating a true custom design that will set your home apart from your neighbors.
