About Iced Coffee
Iced Coffee (CSP-985) is a deep, medium-strength beige from Benjamin Moore that leans yellow. With an LRV of 22, Iced Coffee absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Iced Coffee's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, offices, accent walls and kitchen cabinets. It's very close to Caramel Apple (CC-450); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
How Iced Coffee changes with the light
Iced Coffee has a strong warm undertone that balances cool north light well. In strong south or west sun it can look more golden, so check a sample at midday and in the late afternoon.
