Benjamin Moore

Oak Ridge

235 / HC-25

Oak Ridge by Benjamin Moore is a neutral beige with a sandy undertone that sits comfortably between warm and cool palettes. At an LRV of 42.53, it provides moderate light reflectance, making it a practical mid-tone for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas of varying size. The sandy base keeps it from reading too yellow or too gray, maintaining a balanced warmth throughout the day under different lighting conditions.

It works well with White Dove and Classic Gray for a tonal scheme, while Hale Navy, Forest Floor, and Revere Pewter add layered contrast.
