The closest widely recommended Benjamin Moore match for Sherwin-Williams Latte (SW 6108, LRV 38) is Interlude (AF-135), a warm greige with a soft rosy-mauve warmth at an approximate LRV of 38, essentially the same depth as Latte.
On the Behr deck, the most commonly cited match is Merino (N260-4), a warm beige with a soft gray steadier at an approximate LRV of 38.
The deltas are tiny (within a point or two of LRV, with a small undertone shift), so treat these as very close starting points, not clones. The only way to be sure is to confirm the match on your own wall.
Latte is one of Sherwin-Williams' most reached-for warm tans, so it is no surprise people want it on a Benjamin Moore or Behr fan deck. Here is the honest part: no paint brand publishes official cross-brand equivalents. Matching is not about a secret lookup table, it is about finding the color with the closest LRV (how light or dark it reads) and the closest undertone. If you want the full method first, we walk through how cross-brand paint matching works. Below we line up the closest matches, with numbers, so you know exactly how close each one lands.
The closest matches, side by side
| Color | Brand + code | Approx LRV | Undertone vs Latte | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Latte (#BAA185) | Sherwin-Williams SW 6108 | 38 | Reference (warm tan greige, a soft pink-mauve over gray) | The color you are matching |
| Interlude (#B8A28A) | Benjamin Moore AF-135 | ~38 | Near-identical depth, the same soft rosy-mauve warmth over greige | Closest widely recommended BM match |
| Sherwood Tan (#B8A183) | Benjamin Moore 1054 | ~37 | Same depth, a touch warmer and more golden, with less pink | Good BM alternative if you want less rose |
| Merino (#BDA086) | Behr N260-4 | ~38 | Near-identical depth, a hair less pink with a soft gray steadier | Closest widely cited Behr match |

Why there is no exact Latte equivalent
Every brand builds its colors on its own tint bases and proprietary colorants, then fans them out on its own sample deck. Sherwin-Williams formulated Latte to land at a warm medium tan-greige (LRV about 38) with a soft pink-mauve whisper running under the tan. No competitor set out to clone that exact recipe, so every cross-brand match is an approximation that lands close on LRV and undertone without being identical. That is not a flaw in the match, it is simply how the industry works, and it is why you will never find an official Benjamin Moore or Behr version of Latte.
The practical gap shows up in Latte's pink-mauve. Interlude carries a very similar soft rosy warmth, which is why it lands so close; Sherwood Tan trades some of that rose for a more golden tan; and Behr's Merino reads as a slightly plainer warm greige with a gray steadier. Under warm 2700K light those differences shrink and everything glows tan, while under cool north light or heavy LED, Latte's rose can surface more than its match does. That is exactly where a tiny LRV delta that looks like nothing in a table starts to feel like a real difference on a full wall. There is also the base and tint question: each brand meters its colorants a little differently, so two cans that scan almost the same on a fan deck can dry down with slightly different warmth once they cure on drywall. None of this makes a cross-brand swap a bad idea. It just means the smart move is to treat the codes above as your shortlist, then let a real sample settle the final call.
When the Benjamin Moore match works (and when to stay Sherwin-Williams)
Picking the right lane is less about which brand is better and more about which system your project already lives in. A few concrete calls:
- Choose the Benjamin Moore match when you are already speccing a whole-house Benjamin Moore palette and want your warm tan to live in the same fan deck as your trim and accent colors. Interlude (AF-135) keeps everything on one system at essentially Latte's depth.
- Stay with Sherwin-Williams Latte when it already appears elsewhere in your home, in HOA documents, or on an existing wall, since even the closest BM match will read a little different when the two sit side by side.
- Reach for Sherwood Tan (1054) instead of Interlude when you want the tan a touch warmer and more golden with less of Latte's rose, at essentially the same LRV (about 37 versus 38).
- Before you commit either way, it helps to know how the original behaves: our guide to Latte undertones and best rooms shows where it shines, and if you are lining candidates up across brands, here is how to read LRV and undertone side by side.

If Latte is part of a wider warm-neutral hunt, you may be weighing its cousins across brands too. We ran the same closest-match exercise for two more Sherwin-Williams favorites: here is the Benjamin Moore match for Realist Beige, a lighter warm greige a step up from Latte, and the Benjamin Moore match for City Loft, the soft greige that reads cleaner and cooler than this warm tan.
Frequently asked questions
What is the closest Benjamin Moore equivalent of Latte?
The closest widely recommended Benjamin Moore match is Interlude (AF-135), a warm greige with a soft rosy-mauve warmth and an approximate LRV of 38, essentially the same depth as Latte (SW 6108, LRV 38). The two read remarkably close, though Interlude is a hair softer in the mauve direction. If you want a touch warmer and more golden, Sherwood Tan (1054) at roughly LRV 37 leans classic tan with less pink. Neither is an official equivalent, so test the match on your own wall before you commit.
Is there a Behr version of Latte?
Yes, the most commonly cited Behr match is Merino (N260-4), a warm beige with a soft gray steadier at an approximate LRV of 38, almost exactly Latte's depth. Expect it to read a hair less pink than Latte's rosy-mauve base and a touch more like a plain warm greige. Behr does not publish an official Latte equivalent, and the deck-to-deck undertone shift is real, so confirm it with a sample on your wall.
What is the LRV of Latte, and does its Benjamin Moore match read as deep?
Latte (SW 6108) has an LRV of about 38, which Sherwin-Williams classes as a medium. It is noticeably warmer and cozier than airy greiges like Accessible Beige (LRV 58) or Agreeable Gray (LRV 60), but it is still a comfortable mid-tone, not a dark color. Its closest Benjamin Moore match, Interlude (AF-135), sits at nearly the same LRV (about 38), so it carries the same medium warmth rather than reading lighter or heavier on the wall.
Will the Benjamin Moore match look identical to Latte on my wall?
Not exactly. Every brand mixes on its own tint base and colorants, so even a match this close (within a point or two of LRV) shifts slightly under your lighting, next to your floors, and against your trim. Latte's soft pink-mauve is the trait most likely to move: in cool north light it can surface more, in warm light it settles down. The matches here are close on paper, but the only way to be sure is to test the color on your own wall. Our free tool previews Latte and its Benjamin Moore match on a photo of your actual room.
