Colour and Appearance
Once you compare these items, you can clearly see the difference between brushed brass and brushed gold in it is colour and appearance.
Brushed Gold - It's brighter when compared to the brass finish, with a vivid gold tone and more polished, refined look.
Brushed Brass - It has a golden yellow, warm colour, almost a reddish hue.
Other than that, other factors such as different components, batches, materials, electroplating factories, etc. can cause colour discrepancies in items with golden finished.
If you are renovating and want all your items to match the colour, ensure you seek for the retailer's advice before purchasing the items, as many stores have more than one supplier, resulting in different brushed gold/ brass tones between the items.
Material Compositions
Brushed Brass - Brass is an alloy typically made of copper and zinc. Brushed brass has a matte, textured finish created by brushing the metal with abrasive tools. The color of brass can range from a yellowish tone to a more reddish hue depending on the copper content.
Brushed Gold - Gold is a precious metal, and brushed gold refers to a finish applied to either pure gold or more commonly, gold-plated or gold-colored metals. The underlying material might be brass, stainless steel, or another metal that is coated with a gold finish.
The brushed texture creates a soft, satin-like appearance with a slight sheen.
Suppliers and Batches - How to be sure it will match?
If you already have a brushed gold or a brushed brass item and want to match, please ensure you take the item with you to the physical store.
However, if purchasing at ZURE.com.au, please contact our sales team by email and send a photo of the item you would like to match. The team will then advise you on which brand will have the most similar golden tone.
