What color is Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee?
Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee OC-45 is a very light off-white with a soft creamy cast rather than a crisp, blue-leaning white. Its #eeece1 color value reads warm and gently muted, with a faint yellow-beige undertone that keeps it from looking stark. In bright daylight, Swiss Coffee can appear clean and lightly creamy, while lower or warmer lighting brings out more of its mellow ivory character. It is well suited to walls, ceilings, and cabinetry where a near-white finish is wanted without the sharp contrast of pure white. Pair it with warm wood, linen, natural stone, and deeper greige or charcoal accents for definition.

LRV of Swiss Coffee
Swiss Coffee has an LRV of 83.33% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 83.33%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
