About Aged Bronze
Aged Bronze (231) is a very dark, medium-strength beige from Benjamin Moore that leans yellow. With an LRV of 16, Aged Bronze absorbs most light. It creates a dramatic, enveloping look and suits accent walls, cabinetry and well-lit rooms.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Aged Bronze's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, offices, accent walls and kitchen cabinets. Next to Silken Moss (237), it's warmer.
How Aged Bronze changes with the light
Aged Bronze has a strong warm undertone that balances cool north light well. In strong south or west sun it can look more golden, so check a sample at midday and in the late afternoon.
North-facing rooms
Aged Bronze's warmth balances the cool north light, which is why warmer colors are the safe pick for north rooms.
East-facing rooms
Aged Bronze will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.
South-facing rooms
In strong south light Aged Bronze can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Aged Bronze will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
