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.
