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?

    Just now saw this new color option while looking for ideas for updating our kitchen and I absolutely love this! Hope it’s on the market very soon.

    Need a sunset bronze frig NOW! I foresaw the coming of light, warm copper-colored appliances. However, I did not foresee the delay in
    manufacturing and sales! 🙁
    I like Samsung’s new Flexible design–it only comes in black or silver stainless steel.
    Let’s go, Whirlpool!

    Add me to that Sunset Bronze waiting list…been looking for over 5 years for a copper/bronze color line. Redoing kitchen and laundry room AGAIN, and both perfect for that beautiful color change.

    Been waiting for you to catch up. I need it now. I hated the cold black and the stainless steel. So have held on to my bisque as long as i can. Please move it along.

    Any update on launch date? My refrigerator and microwave were on their last legs 6 months ago. I can’t hold out much longer!

    Whirlpool, PLEASE GET THESE TO MARKET BY THIS FALL! I have been patiently awaiting their arrival. I have called your corporate office a couple of times to let you know “I am waiting”, because I know as soon as I give up and get stainless (which I don’t want to do), you will come out with this. I have the perfect colors in my kitchen for this and have told my husband I am waiting to replace the all white appliances for when you come out with the Sunset Bronze. Thank you!
