Cloudy Sky vs Calamine

Cloudy SkyBenjamin MoorevsCalamineFarrow & BallΔE 25.6Very different colors

Where Cloudy Sky belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Calamine is a Farrow & Ball color. Cloudy Sky reads as blue-grey, while Calamine reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Calamine (LRV 68) reflects noticeably more light than Cloudy Sky (LRV 33), a difference of 34 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cloudy Sky runs blue while Calamine is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 25.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.
