Farrow & Ball

Calamine

No. 230

Calamine is a soft muted pink with a gray undertone that gives it a cooler, more restrained quality than a typical pink. With an LRV of 82.9, it reflects a high amount of light and reads as a warm neutral with a pink tint rather than a statement color. It works well in bedrooms, bathrooms, and living rooms where a quiet warmth is needed.

For a tonal scheme, it pairs with Farrow & Ball's Setting Plaster and Pink Ground, while complementary greens like Mizzle or Pigeon add subtle contrast. Warmer neutrals such as Skimming Stone and Elephant's Breath can ground the palette.

Calamine in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
