Benjamin Moore

Quietude

CSP-230

Quietude by Benjamin Moore is a warm neutral with clear brown undertones, carrying an LRV of 37.9. At this mid-range reflectance, it provides an earthy, grounded backdrop that neither brightens nor significantly darkens a space. The brown base gives it a clay-like warmth that distinguishes it from cooler grays, making it practical for living rooms, bedrooms, and spaces designed around rustic or modern farmhouse aesthetics.

It pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore's White Sand, Muslin, Hale Navy, Dark Olive, and Pale Oak across a range of neutral and contrasting combinations.
