Straw Hat vs Straw Harvest
Straw Hat is a Benjamin Moore color while Straw Harvest comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. With LRVs of 57 and 59, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Straw Hat's red character against Straw Harvest's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 1.5, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
