Theses same three metals have been of great discussion for quite a while with regards to lighting selections as well.
Let's take a moment and look at each finish before we decide where on the podium we will stand:
Bronze
A warm, rich color with many variations. Some bronze finishes are dark, with an "Oil Rubbed" quality that has hints of copper - while others have a warm sheen which can reflect a myriad of rich color tones..... There are dozens and dozens of varieties in the bronze finish, but all of them work well within a rich, warm color palette.
Silver
A neutral finish that can work well with a traditional, transitional or contemporary design. The variances in the silver category include Pewter, Brushed Nickel, Chrome and Polished Nickel as well as a few "faux finishes" with a silver base.
Gold
This is not your Mother's brassy gold - this is the new era of Gold. It is a demure, elegant tone that can be done in either a matte or brushed finish. Although it can also have a sheened finish - it is rich and luxurious, and is often considered a faux with high and low tones.
All three finishes are "precious metals" and beautiful designs can be achieved with each.....
