Benjamin Moore

Crisp Straw

2157-50

Crisp Straw is a warm, light yellow-orange with noticeable peach and grapefruit undertones. It has an LRV of 68.4, which means it reflects a substantial amount of light and reads as bright and open on walls. This shade works well in kitchens and living areas where added warmth is useful.

It coordinates naturally with Benjamin Moore's Pale Moon, Peach Parfait, and White Dove, and gains definition when set against deeper tones like Oxford Gray or Newburg Green. The peach undertone keeps it from reading purely yellow.
