Bronze color meaning

Bronze is a balanced and versatile brown — a warm color at 50% lightness and 61% saturation. Like other browns, it is linked with warmth, stability and nature. It recalls earth, wood and leather, so it feels grounded, reliable and cozy.

Because it is balanced and versatile, bronze works best for brand colors, illustration, furnishings and accents. As text on white it would be too faint (3.1:1), so use it for fills and backgrounds and put black text on top (6.7:1).
