Sherwin Williams Urbane Bronze: Is It The Perfect Neutral Paint Shade?
This color has become the new go to in our home- we just can’t get enough of it! Today on the blog, I’ll discuss everything I love about Sherwin Williams Urbane Bronze to help you decide if it’s the ideal color choice for your home.
An Award Winning Color Choice
I know this sounds like it can’t be done, but Urbane Bronze has mastered the daunting task of being both a bold and neutral paint option. While it’s pretty obvious what huge fans we are of this color, this is not an uncommon opinion.
This shade has become so well loved in the design world, it was named Color Of The Year in 2021. With such a push towards nature-based colors that ground a space, Urbane Bronze has been a leader in creating serenity within a home.
The trick is the balance between heavy black undertones and warm brown undertones. We’ve tried many, many colors that just lean too far one way, resulting in an overwhelming paint choice. Urbane Bronze is not the case.
Just between us, I think the secret is in the little bit of green added to the mixture. It perfectly rounds out the earthy color palette.

Our Moody Urbane Bronze Office Cabinets
There is nothing more visually appealing to me than a moody office space. With this idea in mind, Brad and I really wanted to elevate our standard cabinet built-in for something more luxurious.
After hearing all the hype around Sherwin Williams Urbane Bronze, this felt like the perfect space to try it out for the first time. It truly was love at first sight!
Although we used two coats to cover it completely, I knew after that first roll of the paint that it was exactly what we wanted. After months of living with this bold neutral on such a large area, we are still so in love with it.
Our Urbane Bronze Range Hood
Although the cabinets were daunting to paint Urbane Bronze because of their large size, the rnage hood felt even more nerve-wracking. We had previously loved our all white kitchen space, but after a while it felt too sterile for our liking. Something needed to pop!
On a complete whim, I decided to jump on the countertop and paint the hood Urbane Bronze. Although I did feel a little bit of remorse after the first brush stroke, the end result was so worth it!
I am still shocked that such an inexpensive DIY delivered jaw-dropping results. I wished I had done it sooner!
