Benjamin Moore

Swiss Coffee

OC-45

Swiss Coffee (Benjamin Moore) is a warm off-white with soft beige and cream undertones, carrying an LRV of 81.91. At this high reflectance, it reads close to white on walls but avoids the clinical starkness of a pure white due to its yellow-beige warmth. It sits between true white and light taupe, and its undertone becomes more visible in lower light or against cooler neighboring surfaces.

Compatible Benjamin Moore colors include Edgecomb Gray, Manchester Tan, Hale Navy, Balboa Mist, and White Dove.

Swiss Coffee 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.
