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. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
