Oilcloth vs Treasure
Where Oilcloth belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Treasure is a Jotun color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (35 vs 37), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Oilcloth runs yellow while Treasure is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Oilcloth vs Treasure in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Oilcloth and Treasure are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The temperature contrast between Treasure and Oilcloth is what sets these apart most in this context.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Treasure brings more warmth to the space, while Oilcloth keeps things cooler and crisper.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Treasure brings more warmth to the space, while Oilcloth keeps things cooler and crisper.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Oilcloth on one side and Treasure on the other.
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.
