Light Khaki vs Straw Hat

Light Khaki and Straw Hat 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 3-point LRV gap — 57 for Straw Hat vs 54 for Light Khaki — means Straw Hat will open up a space more effectively. Where Light Khaki leans yellow and red, Straw Hat reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 1.8 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
