More about Swiss Coffee
Swiss Coffee is Behr's warm, creamy white and one of the most-bought whites at Home Depot — a soft white at LRV 84 with a gentle cream cast that flatters trim, walls, and cabinets without reading yellow. It's the warm-white default for people who find bright whites cold.
As with any creamy white, it can look slightly soft beside a stark bright white, so keep the whites consistent through a space. It pairs naturally with warm woods and greige walls. It's a near-identical match for Benjamin Moore Cloud White, so it's the easy way to get that classic creamy white at Home Depot prices.
