Benjamin Moore

Pale Oats

2166-60

Pale Oats by Benjamin Moore is a pale peach with soft orange undertones that give it a warm, light-filled quality. It has an LRV of 74.34, placing it in the high-reflectance category and keeping rooms bright and spacious. The peach base reads as a warmer alternative to standard off-whites and suits living rooms, bedrooms, and nurseries where gentle warmth is needed without strong color saturation.

Pale Oats coordinates well with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Swiss Coffee in a tonal arrangement, and gains definition alongside Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy, while Soft Fern adds a green complement.
