Quiet Moments vs Ammonite
Where Quiet Moments belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball color. Quiet Moments reads as green-grey, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ammonite (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Quiet Moments (LRV 61), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Quiet Moments runs green while Ammonite is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Quiet Moments vs Ammonite in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Quiet Moments and Ammonite are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Ammonite will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Quiet Moments would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Ammonite reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Quiet Moments.

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.
