What color is Sherwin Williams Quietude?

Sherwin Williams Quietude (SW 6212) is a muted blue-green that sits right between sage and soft coastal teal. It reads calm and slightly gray, so it won't scream "color", but it also won't look flat like a plain neutral. Quietude is easiest to style with warm whites, light woods, linen textures, and brushed brass - think cozy, lived-in, and airy. In north-facing or low light it can lean a bit cooler and bluer, while strong sun pulls out more green. If you want a gentle color that still feels fresh, this one is a safe bet.

Quietude for exterior (4 photos)

Quietude outside is all about that "soft coastal" vibe. On doors and porch trim it reads like a washed sea-glass blue-green - fresh, but not shouty. It looks especially good against crisp white siding, light gray shingles, or warm stone, and it plays nicely with black lanterns and simple hardware. Just keep in mind: in bright sun it can look lighter and a bit more blue, so test it on the actual side of the house you're painting.

Sherwin Williams Quietude reviews (10 photos)

Quietude is one of those soft blue-green shades that makes a whole space feel calmer. In these photos you can see it reads pretty clean and airy in bright daylight, not muddy or heavy. It also looks amazing on painted furniture, especially with brass hardware and warm wood nearby. If you want it to feel a bit warmer, pair it with creamy whites; if you want it fresher, go with crisp white trim.

LRV of Quietude

Quietude has an LRV of 47.6% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 47.6%, 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.
