Oyster Bay

8004-3C

Oyster Bay is a muted taupe-gray with a light rosy beige cast. It feels soft and mineral. Bedrooms and open living spaces can use it where a cool gray would clash with warm finishes.

White trim gives it a clean edge. Linen and pale wood keep the palette relaxed. In western sun, the pink-beige side may show more, so check it near sunset.
