Benjamin Moore

Oregon Trail

1230 / CC-484

Oregon Trail by Benjamin Moore is a warm, mid-dark tone built from layered red, orange, and brown undertones that produce a spiced, earthy result. With a Light Reflectance Value of 14.75, it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads best in rooms with ample natural or artificial lighting, such as dining rooms or studies. Its complexity allows it to serve as a strong wall color or accent in rustic and traditional settings.

Pairing it with Benjamin Moore's White Sand, Monroe Bisque, Autumn Leaf, Black Forest Green, or Hale Navy offers contrast and tonal range within a cohesive scheme.

Oregon Trail in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
