Benjamin Moore

White Oaks

1080

White Oaks (OC-20) by Benjamin Moore is a warm beige with a discernible pink undertone that tempers the yellow-brown base. It registers an LRV of 62.11, placing it in the mid-to-high reflectance range, lower than most whites but sufficiently bright for general wall applications. The pink influence is subtle and surfaces more clearly in warm artificial lighting.

Recommended Benjamin Moore pairings include Edgecomb Gray, Manchester Tan, Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, and Soft Pink, accommodating warm neutral layering as well as contrasting dark accent walls.
