Southern Comfort vs Calamine
Where Southern Comfort belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Calamine is a Farrow & Ball color. Hue-wise, Southern Comfort belongs to the beige-pink family and Calamine to the pink-red family. Calamine (LRV 68) reflects noticeably more light than Southern Comfort (LRV 61), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Southern Comfort runs red while Calamine is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
