Whirlpool Sunset Bronze kitchen appliances: Would you?

pam kueber - Updated: August 18, 2021

Retro Renovation stopped publishing in 2021; these stories remain for historical information, as potential continued resources, and for archival purposes.

Sunset Bronze applianceDoing 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.

Bronze applianceThe 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?

    Whirlpool…if you pay attention to the consumers…PLEASE..PLEASE ad this color SUNSET BRONZE to the line available to consumers. My country kitchen will look wonderful…I HATE stainless, black or white and you took away the bisque/almond color. I am hoping my almond fridge lasts until this comes out. Also not to be extra picky but would really like it if the handle was matching color, not stainless, otherwise I may have to have them painted at auto place.
    SUNSET BRONZE…PLEASE!!

    I have been waiting 2 years since Whirlpool has introduced this beautifully color. I was so excited but now I’m just frustrated. I need new appliances and I may be waiting for nothing. I really do not like any color that is available at this time. Any suggestions?

      I also love this Sunset Bronze, but could not wait. Have you looked at the “Black Stainless” available with Samsung? That is what I had to opt for and it is lovely. Check it out.

    Love this color but does not look like it ever came out – I hate stainless and white and can not afford the real expensive brands that offer colors like viking

    In a heartbeat! I literally can not STAND the stainless steel appliances! To me, they look far too industrial. I have been thinking to myself that a warm gold would be gorgeous, and co-ordinate well with brass faucets, spigots, etc. in the kitchen. I truly hope these become available SOONER rather than LATER and I will happily replace all of my kitchen appliances. Just let me know when!

    I love it! I’m not a stainless fan but do like the stainless trim on the appliances. I hope they release this color soon. It would be perfect with my granite.

    The only thing I don’t like are the handles which seem to be stainless? I think it would look better if it were all one color.
