Hidden Oaks

1129 / AC-8

Hidden Oaks is an organic brown with subtle orange undertones that add warmth to its earthy base. With an LRV of 42.35, it offers moderate light reflectance, making it functional in both naturally lit and dimmer spaces. This shade suits living rooms, libraries, and kitchens with rustic styling.

The warm undertones coordinate well with Benjamin Moore Creamy White and Linen White for softer pairings, while Forest Green and Hunter Green provide contrast that complements its earthiness. Shaker Beige also works as a lighter neutral companion.
