Striations

77%LRV Value
Save

Striations reads as warm and grounded — strong in kitchens, family rooms, and any space where warmth is the dominant mood you're after. At LRV 77 it reflects plenty of light, which makes it well-suited for north-facing rooms and smaller spaces that benefit from extra brightness. Skip it in rooms that already run warm or get strong afternoon sun, where it can tip into an overpowering glow.

Striations Technical Profile

What color is Dutch Boy Striations (312-1DB)? It's a light warm orange — hex #F0E1D0, LRV 77. The closest cross-brand equivalent to Striations is Sherwin-Williams Choice Cream — a near-identical match on the wall, with PPG Berkshire Lace and Benjamin Moore Pristine also close. With a Light Reflectance Value of 77, Striations reflects a generous amount of light, making it well-suited for north-facing rooms or smaller spaces that benefit from extra brightness. Pair it with warm whites like White Dove, white oak floors, and unlacquered brass or copper hardware. Terracotta tile or deep green plants complete an earthy warm palette. At mid saturation, this color sits at a flexible mid-point — bold enough to anchor a room without dominating, and pairs cleanly with both crisp and creamy whites. Oranges glow under 2700K warm bulbs, deepening into rich amber. Under 4000K cool light they can lose warmth and shift toward beige — particularly true for muted or dusty oranges. At mid saturation the lighting shift is moderate but real — sample under both warm-bulb evening light and cool-daylight morning light before committing.

What colors match Striations from other brands?
The closest cross-brand equivalents to Striations are Choice Cream by Sherwin-Williams (a near-identical match), Berkshire Lace by PPG (a near-identical match), Pristine by Benjamin Moore (a near-identical match). These are ranked with the CIEDE2000 color-difference formula, which scores how similar two colors actually look to the eye rather than matching them by name — so they're the best options for getting Striations's look in a brand your local store carries. Always confirm with a physical sample, since sheen and lighting shift the final result.
What is the LRV of Striations?
Striations has a Light Reflectance Value (LRV) of 76.9, on a scale where 0 is pure black and 100 is pure white. That makes it a light, reflective color that bounces plenty of light back into a room — well-suited to north-facing spaces, hallways, and smaller rooms that need to feel brighter. LRV is the most reliable guide to how light or dark a paint will read in a real room — more dependable than the swatch on your screen, which varies by monitor.
