Benjamin Moore

Timothy Straw

2149-40

Timothy Straw from Benjamin Moore is a muted yellow-green that reads close to a warm neutral with a distinctly organic, straw-like quality. It registers an LRV of 47.16, placing it in the medium-light range where it provides moderate wall coverage without darkening a room. The green component is understated, functioning more as a modifier that pulls the yellow away from brightness and toward an earthy, desaturated tone.

It pairs naturally with White Dove, Pale Oak, Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, and Olive Branch for layered neutral or contrasting schemes.
