Benjamin Moore

Café Mocha

2099-50

Cafe Mocha is a medium neutral brown with warm undertones. With an LRV of 41.95, it sits in the mid range and reads balanced. It works in living rooms, kitchens, or offices where a warm neutral is needed.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Chantilly Lace for clean contrast. Bennington Gray, Revere Pewter, or Hale Navy add deeper structure. In warmer light, the undertone stays present and the color can deepen slightly.
