Old Glory vs Calamine
Old Glory (Benjamin Moore) and Calamine (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Old Glory reads as blue, while Calamine reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 52-point LRV gap — 68 for Calamine vs 16 for Old Glory — means Calamine will open up a space more effectively. Where Old Glory leans blue, Calamine reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 56.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
