What's the difference between Tuscan Bronze and Oil Rubbed Bronze?
1526378
oil rubbed bronze is a darker brownish color than Tuscan bronze. Oil rubbed bronze approaches a black color in appearance

Tuscan Bronze is going to have reddish bronze tones and Oil Rubbed Bronze is going to be more of a solid dark mocha color with slight color variations in both. Oil Rubbed Bronze is no longer sold by Pfister but parts can be obtained from them covered under their lifetime warranty.

This states Tuscan Bronze in the description, but it looks like Oil Rubbed Bronze, so it is probably just what the company calls the color.

the oil on Tuscan Bronze is 1st applied to young Italian men, then rubbed by hand to each pc, this gives it a warm coppery feel. this leads to warm sunny thoughts every time you grab the handle to wash a dish.

No difference that I know of; just different names from different companies.

The oil rubbed bronze is black with faint bronze hightlights...have Moen faucets and they have slighttly more metal highlights. Because it's real metal. The frames are a plastic ish material. Backed with white cardboard. They look rich. The cabineets are metal (and hinges) . That's what is the industry standard now....unless you are willing to pay $400. Or more.

I just got this in the mail and, to me, it's BLACK. I even double-checked the label to confirm the color. I really don't see how anyone would think this is "oil rubbed bronze". It is black in any light I hold it in AND it has no two-tone effect to it....hence the "rubbed" part.

I would call it burnished bronze...it's a dark brown flat, almost black color that blends with old copper hinges and new brushed stainless appliances. I love it!

As I said in my review it's very close, but it's more of a dark burgundy color. Whereas true oil rubbed bronze is more of a dark brown. As long as it's not sitting right next to your fixtures I doubt anyone would notice. I uploaded a picture but not sure if Amazon will let it post, and keep in mind it's a phone pic. http://i.imgur.com/tFylEAf.jpg. Having said all that, I don't regret the purchase. Good deal for the money.

Mine was what I had ordered - Venetian Bronze and I am very happy with it, or I should say them. I ordered 2 for my new house.

More of a blackish bronze. Matches the current popular " oil rubbed" dark bronze look that's on faucets, towel bars, etc.

Bronze or oil rubbed bronze? I would describe it as a distressed bronze. Not as dark as an oil rubbed bronze.

It says that? Im surprised! Its closer to an oil rubbed bronze which I was hoping to match... and I did!

Actually, it's closer to copper. So the background is dark oil rubbed bronze with copper highlights.

I used his sink with oil rubbed bronze faucets. It is more brown than the fixtures and I like the way it looks, however if you want a "match" this isn't for you. I prefer things not to match perfectly for a organic look. I hope this helps you.

They're oil rubbed bronze. Look like more expensive version only hollow on the underside. We used on golden oak cabinets to blend color with new high end granite countertops. Found the expensive version that cost 75% more and decided we didn't want the weight of the handles - not necessary. We bought new rubbed bronze cabinet door hinges from the specialty hardware store and finish looks exactly the same. Liked them so much we ordered more for an outdoor buffet.

Mine is more towards the darker (not Black) but when you look at it certain ways its lighter towards the copper. I have the dark bronze fixtures in my bathtub and it looks good with it. I have antique copper sink fixtures and it looks good with that too.

If you go with oiled rubbed bronze, you should not have a problem with matching the colors.
