Pale Moss vs Straw
Where Pale Moss belongs to Sherwin-Williams'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 Pale Moss (LRV 58), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
