The difference

Read from the numbers

Swiss Coffee is the lighter of the two at LRV 81.91, 26.9 points above Revere Pewter at LRV 55.05. Both read warm. Revere Pewter is a beige, Swiss Coffee a white. For a whole room, Swiss Coffee is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Revere Pewter is the bolder pick.

How they read

In their own words

Revere Pewter (HC-172) is Benjamin Moore's iconic greige — a warm gray-beige with a soft olive-green undertone. At LRV 55.5 it's slightly deeper than the popular Sherwin-Williams greiges, giving it more presence on a wall.

Swiss Coffee is the warm white by which other warm whites are measured. With an LRV near 84 it stays bright and open, but a slight yellow-beige undertone keeps it creamy rather than clinical — the look of fresh cream rather than fresh snow.
