Oat Straw vs Silhouette

Oat Straw and Silhouette come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Oat Straw belongs to the beige family and Silhouette to the grey family. The 39-point LRV gap — 49 for Oat Straw vs 10 for Silhouette — means Oat Straw will open up a space more effectively. Both share a red character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 46.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
