Mixed Fruit vs Calamine
Where Mixed Fruit belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Calamine is a Farrow & Ball color. Both sit in the pink-red family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Calamine (LRV 68) reflects noticeably more light than Mixed Fruit (LRV 60), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mixed Fruit runs red while Calamine is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 17.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
