Straw Hat vs Botanical Beauty
Where Straw Hat belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Botanical Beauty is a Valspar color. Straw Hat reads as beige, while Botanical Beauty reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Straw Hat (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Botanical Beauty (LRV 49), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
