Doing some research about appliances, we bumped into this story in Whirlpool’s press room: Seems like the company is considering introducing a new color, “Sunset Bronze.”
I’m kinda into this Sunset Bronze, because it’s like the drawer fronts in American Brand Pioneer kitchens married the metal dome of my vintage Imperialite pendant light and gave birth to a rosy love child. I’m not in the market for new appliances myself, but if I were working on a retro kitchen project, I might play around with a mood board that considered these. The are different. And they are warm.
The Whirlpool’s PR rep was very helpful in supplying images, but seemed to be towing the line on whether the company is even bringing these to market. I think the story is, Whirlpool showed off this color at some trade show to gauge interest, and now they need to decide. Officially, Whirlpool told us, “We received tremendous positive response to the introduction of Sunset Bronze and are looking forward to bringing it to market in the future. Although we do not have a hard launch date yet, please continue to check Whirlpool.com for updates.” Whether this color makes the cut or not, it is nice to see a major mainstream manufacturer considering mass market options other than stainless, black and white.
What do you think of this new color, readers?
Would you? Could you?

I absolutely love this and would buy them in a heartbeat.
I love this color and will be looking for it soon
Used to have a coppery brown side by side Amana back in the 1960’s and loved it with my wood cabinets. Next came a cream Amana which is 25 years old but I still love. Do not like the white, black or silver but could go with this new color. Lighter cabinets just look dreadful with the black or silver and white is the same old same old. Would love to see a cream, ivory, or beige option for my cream colored wooden cabinets. Not everyone has a modern or contempary home. More mature tastes go for traditional styles. A textured material would also avoid finger prints!
I would love to put sunset bronze in my new kitchen! Please hurry and put them on the market; l need them in January 2018!😃(the first part of Jan.)
I love this color. Wish they would come out with it in the beginning of January that is when my new house will be done.
I was told sunset bronze coming out in December 2017, and I am waiting patiently to be the first in line!
Yes! Love the sunset bronze look! Loved the oil bronze look in general! Somebody please release the bronze color…long over due!!!

Stainless Steel has had it’s day. It’s very industrial looking. This Sunset Bronze goes with many things. I’ve been waiting to see what the next big thing will be. Here it is!

How do I get my hands on this amazing sunset bronze refrigerator?
I just got mine last week from Home Depot. Also, Best Buy is selling them. 🙂
Our Home Depot or Lowes didn’t have them in the store. I look for them to be there any day though. Maybe Memorial weekend they’ll have a sale on them. I want to get the whole pkg but my finances aren’t smiling…..lol Best Buy is sold out also. I think I’ll give it some time so they have more choices. Only a few models shown online.
I just LOVE this new color!! I dreamed about these the other night….lol
I am buying the whole suite tomorrow…just viewed them all together and its gorgeous! cant wait!
I absolutely love love love to buy just the stove and the refrigerator.My dishwasher and microwave are “okay”(well).The whole suite would be great but then can’t afford them.
