Where Oyster Bay belongs to Sherwin-Williams's range, Serpentine is a Tikkurila color. Both sit in the green-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (44 vs 42), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions.
