Oat is characterized as a mid warm grey color. This specific shade is part of a unique range of limewash paints developed by Bauwerk Colour in collaboration with designer Abigail Ahern.
Understanding Oat's Hue
While described primarily as a warm grey, the perception of Oat can subtly shift depending on its application and surrounding light.
- Undertones: Oat possesses warm undertones, distinguishing it from cooler or more neutral greys. This warmth can give a sophisticated, inviting feel to spaces.
- On Walls vs. Swatch: When applied to a wall, Oat can often appear as a noticeably greyer tone compared to how it looks on a small color card or swatch. This phenomenon is common with paint colors, as light interaction and surrounding elements influence the final perception.
