	Bronze	Stainless Steel	Zinc
Character	Dense, quiet, and expensive-looking without trying.	Cool, precise, structural.	Muted, matt, and comfortable being grey.
How it looks	Deep brown-gold through to near-black, matt or satin more often than bright.	From full mirror through vibration and hairline to a soft brushed matt.	Soft matt grey, developing a subtle mottled surface over time.

In short	Where brass is warm and copper is bright, bronze is deep.	The metal that holds a mirror polish and holds it in public.	The quietest metal we work with.
