What color is Benjamin Moore Quietude?
Benjamin Moore Quietude CSP-230 is a muted mid-tone beige with a noticeable warm, earthy cast. Its mix of soft tan and gray-brown keeps it from reading overly yellow, while a slight rosy warmth may emerge in brighter daylight. In lower or cooler light, Quietude can appear more subdued and taupe-leaning. It suits living room, bedroom, or hallway walls where a grounded neutral is wanted, and it pairs naturally with warm white trim, oak, linen, leather, and aged brass. This shade also has enough depth for cabinetry or a small accent area when paired with lighter surrounding finishes.
LRV of Quietude
Quietude has an LRV of 37.9% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 37.9%, 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.
