About Chocolate Mousse
Chocolate Mousse (1025) is a mid-tone beige from Benjamin Moore with a warm peach undertone. With an LRV of 54, Chocolate Mousse has visible color without darkening a room much.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Chocolate Mousse's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for open-plan living areas, hallways, living rooms and bedrooms. It's very close to Royal Flax (CSP-315); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
How Chocolate Mousse changes with the light

Chocolate Mousse's warmth balances the cool north light, which is why warmer colors are the safe pick for north rooms.
East-facing rooms
Chocolate Mousse will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.
South-facing rooms
Bright south light shows Chocolate Mousse close to its true color, slightly lighter and warmer.
West-facing rooms
Chocolate Mousse will glow warmer in the late afternoon.
