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.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
