Swiss Coffee BM OC-45
Benjamin Moore
Kickstarting our 2024 interior color palette with a real crowd-pleaser – Swiss Coffee BM OC-45! This exquisite hue is a warm and welcoming off-white with ever-so-subtle green undertones. As a dominate member of Benjamin Moore’s Off-White Color Collection, Swiss Coffee has been a go-to for wall colors for years.
Where to Use Swiss Coffee?
This versatile color is an excellent option for a variety of interior spaces. Consider using Swiss Coffee on the walls of rooms featuring a darker trim for a striking contrast. Like many other shades of white, Swiss Coffee shows off different looks in various lighting. So, there’s no need to stress about it feeling dull or generic if you use it all over your home. We promise you won’t be disappointed!
Expert Tips (Dos and Don’ts)
DO pair Swiss Coffee with hardwood flooring, gold accents, olive green tones, brown leather, other off-whites, warm granite, and deep shades of gray and black. These elements harmonize exceptionally well, creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere (see images above).
DON’T pair Swiss Coffee with cool white finishes and paint colors, such as blues and grays. The warm undertones of Swiss Coffee make it better suited for warmer huses and finishes, like olive green and gold, ensuring a harmonious and balanced look in your interior spaces.

When embracing Evergreen Fog, consider pairing it with a creamy white trim, such as Alabaster or Shoji White, to enhance its calming effect. Embrace the natural theme by incorporating elements like warm wood, wicker furnishings, and gold accents for a touch of elegance. Shades of beige and brown further complement Evergreen Fog, creating a warm and inviting palette. On the flip side, avoid pairing it with harsh or cool whites that may disrupt its serene vibe.

Benjamin Moore’s Stonington Gray is like the chameleon of grays – super versatile and perfect for any spot in your home. It’s labeled as an “all-purpose silvery gray,” and trust us, it definatley had to be on our interior paint colors palette for 2024! With a touch of blue undertones, Stonington Gray can sometimes be considered a blue-gray, but really only under specific lighting conditions.
Where to Use Stonington Gray?
Stonington Gray adapts well to diverse spaces, whether in a basement with limited natural light or a spacious living room, avoiding overwhelming large areas and providing a softer alternative to stark white walls. In a bedroom, it evokes a sense of calmness, with the soft gray offering a serene and cozy ambiance.
Expert Tips
An outstanding feature of Stonington Gray is its ability to pair seamlessly with a variety of colors, thanks to its versatile blue undertones. It particularly complements navy and other blue shades, showcasing its adaptability in different design contexts.
When selecting trim colors, opt for cool or clean whites like Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace or Sherwin Williams Pure White. It’s crucial to avoid warm whites, as Stonington Gray’s cool blue undertones can accentuate warm whites, potentially resulting in an undesirable yellowish tint.
Upward SW 6239
Sherwin-Williams
Meet the Sherwin-Williams 2024 Color of the Year – Upward! A blissful light blue with strong gray undertones, Upward is the ideal choice for both residential and commercial spaces. With a calming and muted demeanor, it strikes the perfect balance – not overly cool or warm. Upward promises to bring a calm and uplifting ambiance into any room. Sherwin-Williams particularly recommends this relaxing hue for bedrooms, bathrooms, and laundry rooms, ensuring a touch of soothing elegance wherever it’s applied!
Expert Tips
Pairing this color with Pure White is the classic choice, but we often find homeowners elevating their “coastal vibe” with navy and pastel greens. Sherwin-Williams recommends incorporating warm brown pieces and wood-toned furniture to create a balanced look.
