Limestone vs Timothy Straw
Limestone and Timothy Straw come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Both sit in the beige-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 19-point LRV gap — 66 for Limestone vs 47 for Timothy Straw — means Limestone will open up a space more effectively. Both share a yellow character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 18.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Limestone vs Timothy Straw Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Limestone on one side and Timothy Straw on the other.
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.
