Sombrero vs Timothy Straw

Sombrero and Timothy Straw come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Sombrero reads as beige, while Timothy Straw reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 48 vs 47 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Sombrero leans red, Timothy Straw reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 3.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
