Kingston’s Color Finishes

Antique Brass

A mix of gold and black tones, antique brass is electroplated and lacquered.

Antique Copper

This natural metal color of copper is achieved by electroplating and lacquer.

Brushed Brass

Our quality brushed brass finish is achieved through PVD coating. This premium brushed finish is durable and reliable.

Brushed Nickel

This finish has a slightly warmer undertone to pair with other colors used in any design easily. The brushed low-gloss texture is typically achieved through the use of a wire brush or other abrasive material. This finish is achieved by electroplating and lacquer.

Black Stainless Steel

Black Stainless Steel is a rich gunmetal reminiscent color. A silver undertone with hints of black is designed by electroplating and lacquer.

Matte Black

This finish is a bold color choice, and a durable one at that. This finish is powder coated to achieve an evenly distributed and durable coat.

Naples Bronze

Although appearing to be a cousin of oil rubbed bronze, naples bronze is its own color finish. Highlighted with copper tinted accents, this brown toned finish is electroplated and lacquered.

Oil Rubbed Bronze

Oil Rubbed Bronze is Kingston’s only living finish. A living finish is one that forever changes. As the finish is exposed to the elements and experiences regular use, its appearance changes over time, and similarly to copper, develops a gorgeous patina. This finish is unlacquered to allow for natural aging.

Polished Brass

With PVD technology at the forefront of this finish, polished brass is a gorgeous gold and durable color finish.

Polished Chrome

Stark silver in color, polished chrome is an electroplated and unlacquered finish.

Polished Nickel

Similar to polished chrome, polished nickel is silver in color but with the slightest hint of a yellow/warm undertone as opposed to a stark cool toned silver. This finish is achieved through PVD coating.

Rose Gold

With a touch of blushing pink, our rose gold finish is protected and durable thanks to the PVD coating.

White

Our white finish is powder coated, thus providing a uniform and durable coat of white color.
