Benjamin Moore

Straw

2154-50

Straw is a light yellow with a subtle orange undertone that gives it warmth without intensity. Its LRV of 69.88 allows it to reflect light effectively and stay open. The color remains controlled and does not read overly saturated.

It works well in kitchens, dining areas, and living spaces. Straw pairs cleanly with Benjamin Moore Simply White and Shaker Beige. Hale Navy and Salamander add contrast and structure.
