Comet vs Timothy Straw
Comet and Timothy Straw come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Comet belongs to the blue-grey family and Timothy Straw to the beige-yellow family. The 11-point LRV gap — 47 for Timothy Straw vs 36 for Comet — means Timothy Straw will open up a space more effectively. Where Comet leans blue, Timothy Straw reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 37.3 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.
