Straw color is a bright, gentle yellowish hue derived from the color of dried wheat stalks. Based on the color of the stalks after the grains have been removed, it has a cheerful and pleasant texture with a good balance of yellow and orange. Its natural hue has been preserved and it has been widely used in straw crafts. Since wheat straw is harvested in the summer, it is also a familiar seasonal word and appears in the works of Ryunosuke Akutagawa.
