Rooted in nature, Urbane Bronze SW 7048 (245-C7) is Sherwin-Williams pick for the 2021 Color of the Year. As a pure, minimalistic expression of nature, Urbane Bronze effortlessly conveys a feeling of warmth and welcome. A refreshing alternative and complement to gray, the hue combines beautifully with pale woods, rich leathers, metals and understated natural stone tones.
“The home is now the ultimate retreat from the world, and color is an easy and effective way to create a personal haven,” Sue Wadden, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams, said in a press release. “Urbane Bronze encourages you to create a sanctuary space for mindful reflection and renewal.”
Initially inspired by everything from fall and winter looks seen at Paris Fashion Week to the browns of the 1970s, this standout color from Sherwin-Williams’s Sanctuary palette also has its roots in the tonal shifts that Wadden and her team were seeing in the world of furniture.
