In both light and darker rooms, Pale Oak is a beautiful, bright neutral color that tends to take a backseat in favor of letting the nearby decor stand out.
While Pale Oak’s purple-pink undertone isn’t overt, it’s definitely noticeable from time to time depending on the lighting. If purple undertones are your thing, then this color may be an absolutely perfect fit for you.
If you are looking for a paint color for a room with more natural light, then the darker Agreeable Gray may be the better fit. Rooms with less natural light? Consider Pale Oak.
Tip: As a self-proclaimed “frugalista”, I recommend buying a few paint samples of your top choices and using them to paint your swatches. It’s so much cheaper than buying gallons of paint!
