How To Use This Color

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.

  • Create contrast with woods common in Scandinavia, such as ash.
  • Add just a touch of glimmer with polished silver or brass.
  • Juxtapose with Carrara marble, travertine or another pale-tone stone. 
  • Extend the nod to nature with organic, textured textiles.
