Benjamin Moore

Oat Straw

AF-340

Oat Straw is a medium khaki shade from Benjamin Moore with warm, yellow-brown undertones that give it a natural, wheat-like appearance. With an LRV of 49.31, it reflects light at a balanced, mid-range level appropriate for living rooms, dining areas, and home offices. Its neutral warmth avoids strong color bias, allowing it to bridge traditional and modern interiors without clashing.

The color pairs effectively with White Dove and Revere Pewter for a cohesive neutral scheme, while Hale Navy, Salamander, and Weston Flax provide complementary contrast and depth.
