Flint vs Quietly Violet

FlintBenjamin MoorevsQuietly VioletBenjamin MooreΔE 19.2 — Distinct difference

Flint and Quietly Violet come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Flint belongs to the grey family and Quietly Violet to the grey-purple family. The 10-point LRV gap — 22 for Quietly Violet vs 12 for Flint — means Quietly Violet will open up a space more effectively. Where Flint leans blue, Quietly Violet reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 19.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
