About copper
Copper is the warm metallic orange-brown of a weathered penny — brighter than bronze, more saturated than cinnamon, with the burnished glow of oxidized metal. In matte paint it reads as warm earth; in satin or metallic finish it catches light like the alloy itself.
Use it on accent walls, range hoods, front doors, and powder-room ceilings. It pairs with cream trim, unlacquered brass, oxblood leather, and forest green. Skip cool grey trim. Designer alternatives: BM Copper Patina, SW Copper Pot, F&B Charlotte's Locks.
