Coastline vs Straw Hat

Coastline and Straw Hat come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Coastline belongs to the blue-grey family and Straw Hat to the beige family. The 23-point LRV gap — 57 for Straw Hat vs 34 for Coastline — means Straw Hat will open up a space more effectively. Where Coastline leans blue, Straw Hat reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 34.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
