Old Straw Hat vs G304
Where Old Straw Hat belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, G304 is a Tikkurila color. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. Old Straw Hat (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than G304 (LRV 82), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
