THE BRONZES
Bronze colors
Bronzes are metallic browns with a warm, burnished cast. There are 50 named bronzes across ten shades, running widest at the light end, and every one of them reads warm. They also print unusually well: two in three come back from CMYK within what a press holds.
Of the 16.8 million colors in sRGB, 50 bronzes carry a name. The ones in the lists designers and developers reach for.
