Hazel vs Quietude

HazelSherwin-WilliamsvsQuietudeSherwin-WilliamsΔE 4.2Noticeable difference

Hazel and Quietude come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Hazel belongs to the green family and Quietude to the green-grey family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 50 vs 48 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 4.2 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Hazel vs Quietude in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Hazel and Quietude 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.

Bathroom

Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
