A match of Benjamin Moore 2149-40 Timothy Straw reads as a warm, muted yellow-tan with a straw-gold feel. It has a soft earthy cast rather than a clear, bright yellow, and the value sits in the light-to-medium range with enough depth to avoid looking pale.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on parts where a warm neutral-yellow needs to be repeated on smaller surfaces. Common spray-paint projects include vent covers, switch plates, frames, shelving brackets, railings, mailboxes, wicker baskets, cabinet hardware, speaker grilles, and PVC trim pieces, especially when the goal is to coordinate removable or replacement parts with an existing color reference.

This color is not especially high-chroma, so it usually hides more readily than a vivid yellow, but darker or uneven substrates can still affect how evenly it reads. Finish and film build can shift the apparent warmth and depth, so consistent surface preparation and a steady spray pattern matter when the part needs a uniform appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ 2149-40 Timothy Straw *

How do I confirm 2149-40 Timothy Straw is the right Benjamin Moore color before I order a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm 2149-40 Timothy Straw from a physical Benjamin Moore swatch or a known existing color reference, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color target, so the important check is whether the reference you want is truly 2149-40 Timothy Straw before you place the order.

Also verify the product format and sheen you need for the part you are painting, since the color code by itself does not define the finish or how an aged surface will look.

How much 2149-40 Timothy Straw spray paint should I order for my project?

For MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 2149-40 Timothy Straw, plan on about 20 square feet of coverage per can for one coat. Actual coverage changes with surface texture, porosity, spray technique, and how many coats you need.

If the surface is rough, highly absorbent, or you are changing from a dark color, order extra so you do not run short before the finish looks even.

Where can I find the SDS for 2149-40 Timothy Straw?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product or chemistry you are ordering, not to the Benjamin Moore color name alone. Look up the Safety Data Sheet for the exact MyPerfectColor formula matched to 2149-40 Timothy Straw.

If you are choosing between spray paint or another specialty format, make sure you review the SDS for that exact product type before use.

Can I return a custom-made match of 2149-40 Timothy Straw if I order the wrong MyPerfectColor product?

Custom-made matches of 2149-40 Timothy Straw should be ordered carefully because they are not returnable or refundable once made. Before you buy, confirm the color reference, product type, sheen, and quantity.

If your project depends on approval against an existing painted surface, double-check those details first so you do not end up with a custom order that does not fit the project.

What is the best way to spray 2149-40 Timothy Straw so the finish looks even?

Use light, even coats of MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 2149-40 Timothy Straw. Keep the can moving, overlap each pass slightly, and hold a consistent distance so you do not flood the surface.

Avoid heavy passes, which can cause runs, uneven sheen, or color buildup. Let each coat dry as directed before applying the next coat, especially on vents, hardware, trim pieces, or other small parts where spray buildup shows quickly.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore 2149-40 Timothy Straw to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore 2149-40 Timothy Straw in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand you want.

Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
