Wild Earl vs Warm Oats

Wild EarlJotunvsWarm OatsSherwin-WilliamsΔE 2.1Subtle difference

Where Wild Earl belongs to Jotun's range, Warm Oats is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Warm Oats (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Wild Earl (LRV 60), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 2.1, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
