What color is Behr Oat Field?
Behr Oat Field S320-4 is a muted mid-tone beige with a noticeable warm, golden-tan cast. Its #c0ad89 color value keeps it soft rather than overly yellow, giving walls a grounded look in living rooms, halls, or bedrooms. In bright daylight, Oat Field can read as a light wheat-toned neutral, while lower or warmer artificial light brings out its deeper khaki-beige character. Pair it with creamy off-whites, weathered wood, linen upholstery, and matte black or aged-bronze hardware for contrast. This shade is especially well suited to broad wall areas and can also give a traditional cabinet or built-in a gently earthy finish.

LRV of Oat Field
Oat Field has an LRV of 42.72% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 42.72%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
