Understanding Matt Bronze
Matt Bronze is a deep dark finish with hints of chocolate brown. The bronze undertones add depth and richness to the surface. When light hits a Matt Bronze finish, it tends to reflect in a way that enhances the bronze tones, giving the surface a soft glow.
Exploring Matt Black
In contrast, Matt Black is a sleek and contemporary finish that is common in modern homes. The lack of undertones in Matt Black allows it to seamlessly blend into any design aesthetic.
The Impact of Light
One of the key differences between Matt Bronze and Matt Black is how they interact with light. Putting both finishes together, you can see the difference with the Matt Bronze having a warmer, golden hue, while Matt Black absorbs the light completely, creating a shadow-like effect. Depending on the amount and direction of light in a space, the tones of these finishes can shift subtly.
