What color is Benjamin Moore Pale Straw?
Benjamin Moore Pale Straw 2021-70 is an extremely light, creamy yellow with a soft sunlit cast rather than a bold golden tone. Its high value keeps it close to off-white, while the gentle yellow undertone prevents it from reading stark or icy. In bright natural light, Pale Straw can look nearly white with a faint buttercream wash; lower or warmer lighting brings its yellow presence forward. It suits kitchens, breakfast areas, nurseries, and hallways where a light wall color can add more warmth than plain white. Pair it with clean white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, or muted blue-gray accents for contrast.

LRV of Pale Straw
Pale Straw has an LRV of 86.88% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 86.88%, 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.
