Pale Straw vs Yellow Highlighter
Both are Benjamin Moore colors. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. At LRV 87 vs 71, Pale Straw will read as the brighter of the two — a 16-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a yellow quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 49.2, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
