These same structures have been refined using warm copper tones - adding a sense of luxury to the mix. Here is a snapshot of a couple of them: I love this copper transparent tint on brushed aluminum and how the selective low gloss creates a soft satin feel. The high gloss texture detail on the high gloss bead has an inlaid look. This shows basic decoration and yet speaks of rich, refined tastes. ![DES 1500 O web](https://www.norcorp.com/hs-fs/file-303359126-jpg/images/des-1500-o-web.jpg) The same copper tint on brushed aluminum is further enhanced with high gloss piano black and coordinating metallic copper in the finish below. The result is a sophisticated look that draws you in. The contrasting lines add interest with a bit of dimension achieved through texture.  ![DES 1500 N web](https://www.norcorp.com/hs-fs/file-303363076-jpg/images/des-1500-n-web.jpg) *What colors would you use to further transform these structures?
