Café au Lait

CSP-290

Cafe au Lait is a warm brown with subtle orange undertones. With an LRV of 23.99, it reads as a dark mid-tone. It suits dining rooms, kitchens, or living areas that need a warm neutral base.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Simply White or Swiss Coffee for lighter trim. Hale Navy, Hunter Green, or Manchester Tan extend the palette. In warmer light, the undertone stays present and the color can deepen slightly.
