Oat Straw vs Ivory
Where Oat Straw belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Ivory is a RAL Classic color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Ivory (LRV 58) reflects noticeably more light than Oat Straw (LRV 49), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
