Gray Sky vs Calamine
Gray Sky (Benjamin Moore) and Calamine (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Gray Sky reads as blue-grey, while Calamine reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 8-point LRV gap — 76 for Gray Sky vs 68 for Calamine — means Gray Sky will open up a space more effectively. Where Gray Sky leans blue, Calamine reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 12.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
