Harp Strings vs Weston Flax
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the beige-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Weston Flax (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Harp Strings (LRV 72), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean yellow, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 4.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Harp Strings vs Weston Flax in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Harp Strings and Weston Flax are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
House
Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. Weston Flax reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
