What color is Benjamin Moore Oat Straw?
Benjamin Moore Oat Straw AF-340 is a muted golden beige with a soft, earthy cast rather than a bright yellow presence. Its #CFBA92 color value gives it medium-light depth, so it can warm up broad wall areas without reading overly pale or washed out. In daylight, the sandy beige base is likely to feel clearer, while lower or warmer artificial light can emphasize its honeyed character. Oat Straw suits living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms where natural wood, woven fibers, and aged brass are part of the palette. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm clay tones, olive greens, or deep brown accents for a grounded, layered interior.

LRV of Oat Straw
Oat Straw has an LRV of 49.31% 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 49.31%, 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.
