Benjamin Moore

Barista

AF-175

Barista is a very dark brown with a red undertone that gives it warmth. Its LRV of 8.1 indicates very low reflectance, so it reads near-black on walls. Warm light brings the red-brown note forward.

It is suitable for libraries, dining rooms, or cabinetry where a deep brown is needed. Pair it with Rich Cream and Golden Straw for warm support, and add Essex Green or Gentleman's Gray for contrast.

Barista in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
