Jute vs Calamine
Jute is a Benjamin Moore color while Calamine comes from Farrow & Ball. Hue-wise, Jute belongs to the beige-greige family and Calamine to the pink-red family. At LRV 68 vs 63, Calamine will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Jute's yellow and red character against Calamine's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 9.0, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Jute vs Calamine in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Jute and Calamine are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Calamine has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Jute vs Calamine Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Jute on one side and Calamine on the other.
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.
