Farrow & Ball Tallow 203 on a wall, hex #F6EBD5

The closest Farrow & Ball paint to Vista Paint Oat Straw (8540) is Tallow 203, a delta-E of 2.09 away — the nearest Farrow & Ball makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.

Tallow is 7.8 LRV points lighter, so the room will read slightly brighter. Undertone reads as yellow undertone against yellow undertone, at chroma 12.0 and 11.5.

Codes are not transferable between manufacturers and no brand publishes a conversion table, so every figure here is measured from the published hex values rather than taken from a chart.
