Sesame vs Straw
Sesame (Benjamin Moore) and Straw (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Sesame reads as beige-yellow, while Straw reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 63 vs 65 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. ΔE 5.5 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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