Benjamin Moore

Mocha Cream

995 / CC-458

Mocha Cream is a light neutral carrying dusty taupe undertones that give it a muted, slightly violet-gray cast rather than a straightforward beige read. With an LRV of 57.76, it falls in the medium-light range, reflecting enough light to open up a room while retaining visible color on the wall. The taupe undertone keeps it from leaning too yellow or pink, making it a reliable bridge between warm and cool palettes.

It pairs naturally with Swiss Coffee for trim work, and complements Fairview Taupe and Weimaraner as deeper accents. Natural Linen and Pale Oak serve as lighter companions in adjacent spaces.

Mocha Cream 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.
