About Trench Coat
Trench Coat (CSP-1020) is a deep, medium-strength beige from Benjamin Moore that leans yellow. With an LRV of 36, Trench Coat 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 Trench Coat'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. Next to Spice Gold (1040), it's darker and cooler.
How Trench Coat changes with the light
Trench Coat 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.
North-facing rooms
Trench Coat's warmth balances the cool north light, which is why warmer colors are the safe pick for north rooms.

South-facing rooms
In strong south light Trench Coat can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Trench Coat will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
