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.

Just a few weeks ago, I bought a toaster by Oster that appears to be this same mellow color, so maybe it’s starting to catch on. It looks very nice with my yellow-and-teal kitchen. I have original built-in appliances c.1955 with enamel finishes (lucky me), or else I would definitely want this. You could start with the toaster and then decide if you want to take it around your kitchen..
New stainless appliances can’t help but date the kitchen to this century, and I agree, what is with all these refrigerators-on-steroids? (Like the huge walk-in showers, but I digress.) And with “open concept” kitchens ruining so many older homes, that monstrous fridge is on display, typically a focal point as viewed from the front door and steps away from the living room sofa! That is so wrong.
Anyway, Oster toaster. Check it out!
