Quiet Hideaway vs Salt

Quiet HideawayDuluxvsSaltFarrow & BallΔE 1.1Subtle difference

Where Quiet Hideaway belongs to Dulux's range, Salt is a Farrow & Ball color. Both sit in the greige-white family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Quiet Hideaway (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Salt (LRV 78), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 1.1, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. 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.
