Benjamin Moore

Old Straw Hat

337

Old Straw Hat is an ultra-pale yellow from Benjamin Moore with soft warm undertones and a high Light Reflectance Value of 85.4. It reflects most available light, making it particularly useful in smaller rooms, north-facing spaces, or areas with limited natural light such as kitchens, nurseries, and powder rooms. Its yellow base is restrained enough to function as a near-neutral.

Linen White and Simply White serve as complementary trim options, while Chelsea Gray or Hale Navy provide grounding contrast. Pale Straw offers a close tonal companion within the same warm range.
