Description of color and its brief history
The bronze color is a series of shades of yellow that range from green to brown. Its name is given due to striking similarities with the metal of the same name. Color falls into the category of warm, saturated, sometimes slightly bright tones. Depending on what effect you need, you can choose a bronze of a darker or lighter shade, with overflows and without. In a word, the bronze color is very versatile, it can “adapt” to your preferences and become a worthy addition to the image or interior. The peak of its popularity fell in the first half of the 19th century. One of the mods wanted to buy material for making a suit of the most fashionable tone at that time - “London smoke”. However, he went to the store in the dark and did not make out that he had bought not something gray, but something similar to a “billiard tire”. Since he began to wear his new suit, fashion for this shade has spread throughout the world.
We make our house
You can use bronze color in the interior, both primary and secondary, it all depends on the tastes and characteristics of the room that you are decorating. If we are talking about a spacious room, living room or hall, then the light shades of bronze can easily be used as the basis for wall paints. The interior will become more luxurious if you add a little fine glitter to the paint, which will make it slightly shiny and iridescent. If the room is small, but you still want to use this wonderful shade, then you can use it as a secondary one. That is, to design furniture elements, textiles, accessories. Columns, arches, doorways and portals can also be painted in bronze.

Forged elements can be used to decorate watches and even upholstered furniture by attaching them to the past.
Dress up with taste
In contrast to the versatility that distinguishes bronze in the interior, this tone does not suit everyone. Golden-bronze color looks perfect on owners of a warm color type. These are red-haired girls, brown-haired women who have slightly dark skin and dark eyes (green, amber, hazel, brown). Clothing of this tone, as a rule, symbolizes success, stability in life, self-confidence, stability, intelligence. Therefore, most often business suits and sundresses that are suitable for business meetings are sewn from such matter. You can complement the robe of this color with accessories of dark green, dark blue, gray or black. If you wear a dress or a light suit made in bronze (on a date or on a visit), then you can dilute the composition with turquoise, red, yellow, coral or lilac.
A bunch of combinations: choose what you want!
Amazingly, bronze is combined with almost all other tones. The main thing is not to overdo it with their number and take into account the basic color rules (if it comes to clothes). So, the bronze color is combined with a lilac palette. In such an ensemble, it is only important to focus on the first tone, and leave the auxiliary muffled. The combination with coral, red, pink tones will be much brighter. The result is a kind of fruit mix, which is ideal for decorating a country house. Bronze looks fresh and original in the interior in combination with light green and white tones. But the design (however, as well as the image in clothes) in the yin style will help to make dark cherry tones and the color of the sea wave in combination with bronze.
