Quiet Moments BM 1563

Quiet Moments LRV and undertone

Benjamin Moore Quiet Moments (1563) has an LRV of 60.73, placing it in the light range. Light reflectance value measures the proportion of visible light reflected by a painted surface. This level can help a room retain brightness while providing more color than a typical near-white. Its calculated color family is green, and its undertone is also green. The supplied hex value is #C7CFC8. These measurements describe the color’s general characteristics, although the final appearance depends on the room and its lighting.

Quiet Moments may appear different under daylight and artificial light. North-facing rooms usually receive cooler daylight, which can make cool characteristics more noticeable. South-facing rooms generally receive warmer daylight, potentially shifting how the green undertone reads. Consider the direction of the windows, nearby wood tones, flooring, and fabrics before selecting a finish. A sample painted on more than one wall can help reveal changes across the room. Trim with a substantially different lightness creates more contrast, while similar lightness can soften the boundary.

Quiet Moments in other brands

Sherwin-Williams Rainwashed (SW 6211) is a close alternative, with an LRV of 59.0 and a ΔE of 1.5. Sherwin-Williams Sea Salt (SW 6204) is similarly close, with an LRV of 63.0 and a ΔE of 1.6. A ΔE from 1 to 2 means two colors are very close, though small differences can still show when samples sit together. Behr Light French Gray (720E-2) has an LRV of 61.0 and a ΔE of 2.3, placing it in the close but visibly different range.

Behr Breezeway (MQ3-21) has an LRV of 66.0 and a ΔE of 2.7, making it another close comparison with higher light reflectance. PPG Elemental (PPG1011-2), with an LRV of 66.0 and a ΔE of 4.8, is only a broader similarity. Compare physical samples in the same lighting to judge differences that measurements alone cannot communicate.

Lighter and darker Benjamin Moore alternatives

Benjamin Moore Gray Owl (OC-52) has an LRV of 64.51, making it lighter than Quiet Moments. Its ΔE of 3.5 indicates a close but visible color difference. Benjamin Moore Hollingsworth Green (HC-141), with an LRV of 63.25 and a ΔE of 3.9, is another lighter option. Either can be considered when you want to increase reflectance slightly while retaining a light overall depth.

Benjamin Moore Stonington Gray (HC-170) has an LRV of 59.36, so it is marginally darker. Its ΔE of 3.4 indicates a visible difference despite the similar reflectance. Benjamin Moore Palladian Blue (HC-144) has an LRV of 60.4 and a ΔE of 3.2, making it slightly darker by LRV as well. Test the alternatives beside your trim and flooring, because a small LRV difference may look more or less noticeable depending on the surrounding finishes.
