The difference

Read from the numbers

Swiss Coffee is the lighter of the two at LRV 84, 3.9 points above Pink Cloud at LRV 80.1. Both read warm. Swiss Coffee is a whites, Pink Cloud a pinks. For a whole room, Swiss Coffee is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Pink Cloud is the bolder pick.

How they read

In their own words

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.

Pink Cloud is the lightest pink in the library — at LRV 80 it is closer to a tinted white than a color, a peach-blush so faint it reads as warmth rather than pink until you see it beside a true white. It is gentle, luminous and impossible to overdo.
