Behr Flax Straw S300-4 is a muted golden tan with a noticeable earthy warmth. Its mid-tone depth keeps it from reading too pale or yellow, giving walls a grounded, softly sunbaked look. In bright daylight, this shade can show more of its straw-like golden beige character, while lower or warmer light may bring out its deeper caramel-brown cast. It suits living rooms, dining areas, hallways, and exterior siding where a warm neutral has more presence than cream. Pair Flax Straw with off-white trim, weathered wood, olive green, clay accents, or charcoal metal for contrast.
