Oats vs Chai
Where Oats belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Chai is a Tikkurila color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (62 vs 60), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 0.9, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
