Sonnet vs Calamine
Where Sonnet belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Calamine is a Farrow & Ball color. Hue-wise, Sonnet belongs to the beige-greige family and Calamine to the pink-red family. Sonnet (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Calamine (LRV 68), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sonnet runs red while Calamine is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
