Wandering Heart vs Straw
Where Wandering Heart belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Straw is a Tikkurila color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Straw (LRV 65) reflects noticeably more light than Wandering Heart (LRV 49), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 11.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
