What color is Benjamin Moore Crisp Straw?
Benjamin Moore Crisp Straw 2157-50 is a light, sun-warmed neutral with a clear peachy-beige cast. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the gentle orange undertone gives it more presence than a standard cream. In bright daylight, Crisp Straw can read as a soft apricot-tinted off-white; under warm evening lamps, it takes on a richer, buttered glow. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, and bedrooms where a light color should still feel noticeably warm. Pair it with chalky white trim, honey-toned woods, woven natural fibers, or muted terracotta accents to reinforce its sunny character.

LRV of Crisp Straw
Crisp Straw has an LRV of 68.4% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 68.4%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
