Broadway Lights vs Straw
Broadway Lights and Straw come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 6-point LRV gap — 70 for Straw vs 64 for Broadway Lights — means Straw will open up a space more effectively. Both share a red character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 17.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
