Benjamin Moore

Cafe Royal

1130

Cafe Royal is a soft brown with subtle orange undertones. With an LRV of 39.54, it reads as a mid-tone neutral. It works in living rooms, libraries, or dining areas that need a warm base.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Chantilly Lace for lighter trim. Chestertown Buff, Golden Straw, or Hale Navy add warmth or contrast. In warmer light, the undertone stays present and the color can deepen slightly.

Cafe Royal 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.
