About Mocha Madness

Mocha Madness (2100-10) is a very dark, medium-strength beige from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 8, Mocha Madness absorbs most light. It creates a dramatic, enveloping look and suits accent walls, cabinetry and well-lit rooms.

In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Mocha Madness's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for accent walls, front doors, cabinetry and powder rooms. It's very close to Brown (2099-10); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.

How Mocha Madness changes with the light

Mocha Madness is a deep color. In north-facing or dim rooms it reads darker and cozier; in south-facing rooms it shows more of its color. Either can work, depending on the mood you want.

N

North-facing rooms

Mocha Madness will read even deeper in north light: great for a cozy, enveloping room, less so if you want it bright.

E

East-facing rooms

Mocha Madness will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.

S

South-facing rooms

In strong south light Mocha Madness can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.

W

West-facing rooms

Mocha Madness will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
