Celtic Folklore vs Calamine

Celtic FolkloreBenjamin MoorevsCalamineFarrow & BallΔE 41.8Very different colors

Celtic Folklore is a Benjamin Moore color while Calamine comes from Farrow & Ball. Celtic Folklore reads as yellow, while Calamine reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 67 and 68, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Celtic Folklore's green character against Calamine's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 41.8, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.

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