Calcite vs Daffodil White
Where Calcite belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Daffodil White is a Dulux color. Calcite reads as beige, while Daffodil White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Daffodil White (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Calcite (LRV 82), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Calcite runs red while Daffodil White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 0.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.

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.
