Limestone vs Oat Milk

LimestoneSherwin-WilliamsvsOat MilkSherwin-WilliamsΔE 44.1 — Very different colors

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Limestone reads as grey, while Oat Milk reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Oat Milk (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Limestone (LRV 13), a difference of 57 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Limestone runs neutral while Oat Milk is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 44.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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. 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.
