Oyster Shoal

8005-5D

Oyster Shoal is a warm greige with a sandy brown undertone and feels easy and grounded. This color can support a living room or bedroom without drawing too much attention. Cream trim keeps it mellow.

Black accents add needed definition. In rooms with gray tile, it may appear warmer and more beige, so sample beside the flooring before painting connected spaces.

Oyster Shoal 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.
