Swiss Coffee Benjamin Moore · OC-45 LRV 81
Swiss Coffee review: Benjamin Moore OC-45
warm off-white, yellow undertone.
A softer, slightly more yellow alternative to White Dove; works best in homes that already run warm rather than as a corrective in a cold, north-facing room.
Swiss Coffee in real light
Same sample board, four compass directions: this is the standardized shot list every color on this site gets, so you can compare across colors and not just across one photographer's living room. Photos for this color are still being shot; the notes below are what to expect from the color's undertone.
North light North light is cool and indirect all day, so it mutes Swiss Coffee's warmth and can make it read flatter and slightly gray.
East light Morning east light is warm and golden, so Swiss Coffee looks brightest and warmest early in the day, then cools and flattens by afternoon as the light moves west.
South light South-facing rooms get the most direct sun all day, which pushes Swiss Coffee's warmth further, sometimes past what the chip suggests.
West light Afternoon west light is warm and can run intense right at sunset, then goes flat and cool in the morning before the sun reaches that side of the house.
What to pair Swiss Coffee with
- Warm wood tones and brass fixtures
- Pale Oak or Revere Pewter as a wall color under Swiss Coffee trim
