Old Straw Hat vs Lemon Spirit
Where Old Straw Hat belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Lemon Spirit is a Dulux color. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. Lemon Spirit (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than Old Straw Hat (LRV 85), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Old Straw Hat runs yellow while Lemon Spirit is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
