Swiss Coffee
Benjamin Moore
OC-45
Swiss Coffee is a creamy, warm white with soft yellow undertones and a slight green underpinning that keeps it from going buttery. It is a longtime favorite for walls, ceilings, and cabinetry in traditional and Spanish-style homes, and it flatters warm woods, terracotta, and aged brass. Note that several brands make a Swiss Coffee; the Benjamin Moore version is its own color.

What is the Sherwin-Williams equivalent of Swiss Coffee?
The closest Sherwin-Williams match for Swiss Coffee is Cotton SW 9581 (#EEEBE1). No cross-brand match is exact, because each brand mixes its own pigment formulas. Always confirm with a physical sample before specifying a substitute.
Is Swiss Coffee warm or cool?
This is firmly a warm white. Swiss Coffee carries creamy yellow undertones with a subtle green note underneath, which keeps the warmth from reading too sweet. Its LRV of approximately 84 makes it bright but noticeably softer than crisp whites. In low light it can drift toward beige, so it suits rooms where you want coziness rather than crispness. Pair it with warm-toned trim or use it wall-to-ceiling for a soft envelope.
Why does Swiss Coffee look different on screen than on the wall?
Screens emit light while paint reflects it, so a hex code cannot capture how lighting, sheen, and surrounding colors shift paint in a real room. Treat #EEECE1 as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does Swiss Coffee have?
Swiss Coffee has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 84, meaning it reflects about 84% of visible light. That places it among lighter colors that keep rooms feeling open and bright.
