What color is Benjamin Moore Quiet Moments?

Benjamin Moore Quiet Moments 1563 is a light, muted gray-green with a softly cool cast and very low saturation. Its pale value keeps walls looking open and airy, while the green undertone gives it more character than a standard light gray. In bright daylight, this color can read as a clean, delicate green-gray; under warmer bulbs, it may appear quieter and closer to a softened neutral. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas where a gentle wash of color is preferred over a crisp white. Pair Quiet Moments with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or natural linen for a restrained, layered look.

What are Benjamin Moore Quiet Moments undertones?

Quiet Moments reads as a light, highly muted gray-green with a soft, low-saturation appearance. The supplied digital color leans subtly green, with a slight yellow influence, though that bias is faint and can shift with surrounding colors and lighting. Benjamin Moore describes it as a mix of blue and gray, which aligns with its cool, softened overall character even though the digital sample appears more green-leaning. Warm artificial light may bring out a touch more softness or yellow-green warmth, while cool daylight can make its gray-green cast appear cleaner and cooler.

LRV of Quiet Moments

Quiet Moments has an LRV of 60.73% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 60.73%, 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.
