About Oilcloth

Oilcloth (CSP-760) is a deep, soft green from Benjamin Moore that leans yellow. With an LRV of 35, Oilcloth absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.

In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Oilcloth's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, offices, kitchen islands and cabinets and accent walls. Next to Arctic Shadows (1559), it's lighter.

How Oilcloth changes with the light

Oilcloth has a fairly balanced undertone: it shifts a little cooler in north light and a little warmer in afternoon west light, which makes it an easy choice for most rooms.

N

North-facing rooms

In north light Oilcloth will look a little cooler and grayer than on the chip.

E

East-facing rooms

Oilcloth will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.

S

South-facing rooms

Bright south light shows Oilcloth close to its true color, slightly lighter and warmer.

W

West-facing rooms

Oilcloth will glow warmer in the late afternoon.
