coffee and cream
Diner cup standard
Coffee and cream describes a light brown color resembling coffee with cream or milk added—warmer and softer than plain brown, with tan or beige undertones.
The phrase appears in fashion, interior design, and descriptions of skin tone: a coffee-and-cream complexion.
As a beverage order, it simply means coffee served with cream.
