“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.” A warm nature-inspired brownish-gray shade, Urbane Bronze is a versatile and easy-to-live-with dark neutral that, like all paint colors, changes subtly with the light, and works well in a range of interiors and applications big and small. “Urbane Bronze is a comforting color, drawing from nature for a feeling of relaxation and serenity,” explained Wadden. “There’s also reassurance in its sentimentality, with nostalgic ties to the design of the ’70s and ’90s, but with gray undertones that give it a distinctly modern twist.” Ahead, you can pull inspiration from the following rooms for incorporating the Sherwin-Williams Color of the Year into your own home.
