Cloud White is not as identical to Swiss Coffee as Alabaster is.
(You can read more about Sherwin Williams Alabaster here.) Benjamin Moore Cloud White vs Behr Swiss CoffeeĪnother fist cousin to Swiss Coffee is Cloud White from Benjamin. I honestly cannot even tell you what the difference is between these too. Think of them as first cousins…that are almost identical. Sherwin Williams Alabaster vs Behr Swiss CoffeeĪs you can tell, these two paint colors are very similar. I do not have a sample of Benjamin Moore’s Swiss Coffee but from what I can tell online, these two colors are very similar.īM Swiss Coffee has a LRV of 83.93 which is very close to Behr’s LRV of 84. I hate to say this but I cannot give you a definite description of the difference between these two paint colors. To make things more complicated, Benjamin Moore also has a Swiss Coffee. Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee vs Behr Swiss Coffee I would not do a cool gray paint color with Swiss Coffee, unless you are looking for that contrast. Since Swiss Coffee is a warmer white, I would pair it with other warmer paint colors, even earthy colors would look great with Swiss Coffee. If you head over to Behr’s website you will see some of paint colors that they suggest that would look great with Swiss Coffee. If your room gets a good amount of natural light, you might not even notice Swiss Coffee’s undertones. This undertone can come out more in rooms without natural light (think basement or a bathroom). Swiss Coffee doesn’t look straight out of the can yellow but it definitely has some yellow undertones. Click on the link below the picture to see more. I usually recommend with white paint to paint your walls and trim the same color and just use a different sheen for each.īut in the picture below, the designer used Behr Cotton Knit as her trim color with Swiss Coffee as her wall color…which I think is a great idea. Swiss Coffee would look good on walls, trim and cabinetry. Is Behr Swiss Coffee warm or coolīehr Swiss Coffee is a soft warm creamy white. You can assume a white paint color with a LRV of 84 isn’t going to be one of your starker whites and Swiss Coffee is definitely not a stark white. The higher the number, the whiter the paint. Without getting too technical, LRV stands for Light Reflective Value. It’s just one of those colors that once you put it on your walls, you immediately love it. There is a reason Swiss Coffee is one of Behr’s most popular paint colors. (Not to be confused with Benjamin Moore’s Swiss Coffee…we are strictly talking about Behr Swiss Coffee) (Psst…I did a post already on some of Behr’s most popular white paint colors if you want to go down that rabbit hole) So let’s talk a little bit about one of Behr’s most popular white paint colors From there you can decide if you want a warmer of cooler white or a white with less yellow undertones. I always say to start off with a “popular” white paint color and go from there. Lots of trees means the possibility of green undertones showing up.

I have even asked clients to send me pictures of their windows so I can see if there are lots of trees outside.
Since white is so reflective, you need to take everything into consideration. I really wish there was one white paint color that would look good in every home and in every room. Every white has it’s own personalities in the form of undertones. There really isn’t a “perfect” white paint color either. Talk about going down a black hole! White paint is so tricky and picking a perfect white paint color can make anyone go insane. The number one most popular paint request is “what white paint color is best for my space”. I’ve learned quite a bit about picking paint colors these past few months. It’s even harder helping someone who is miles away when I am helping an e-Design client. You can guess what the number one thing I get asked most to help with? You guessed it…picking out paint colors. Some designers might cringe when I say that but I haven’t had any problems with color matching my paint with Behr paint.Ĭhoosing a paint color for your home is by far the hardest decision most people can make and most go through a period of decision paralysis. I have Behr Silver Drop throughout my whole house and it is still my all time favorite paint color.Īnd yes, I am one of those that will color match any Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams paint color to Behr. My whole house is painted with Behr paint. But you guys sure do like these blog posts.Īnd here I am again talking about Behr paint. Here I am again, writing another blog post about paint.
