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?

      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

    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!
    I want the whole pkg. My appliances are old & need replaced. You can’t go wrong with Whirlpool!! Now to find it locally…..

    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!
