Give this sample a clear job
Sample Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee OC-45 beside the fixed finishes, in the intended orientation and under normal room lighting. The trial should settle warm white, with the brand written on the sample . Swiss Coffee OC-45 is a warm-white choice whose identity must stay distinct from the lighter Behr reference with the same name.
Why the cream stone and aged brass relationship matters
Cream stone already contributes warmth; brass is an accent within that palette rather than proof that every warm white will fit.
Swiss Coffee has an LRV of 81.91; Behr Swiss Coffee 12 is 84. The difference is 2.09 points, with Swiss Coffee returning more light under the reference measurement.
Keep the comparison fair
Label the Swiss Coffee board and hold it directly against each permanent white, with equal lighting and orientation. Include the intended trim finish in the last trial. The approved sample should resolve the actual white-to-white boundaries, rather than simply look pleasant on blank paper.
Approve the actual coating and the least favorable view
Choose the OC-45 sample on its own merits; the Behr color with the same name is a separate paint reference. The undertones and neighboring colors covers that related choice.
Keep the approved dried board with the complete Benjamin Moore OC-45 product and finish specification. Follow the actual coating instructions for application, drying and preparation; the color name does not settle those requirements. The daylight and evening-light checks covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
