Pout vs Calamine
Where Pout belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Calamine is a Farrow & Ball color. Pout reads as beige-pink, while Calamine reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Calamine (LRV 68) reflects noticeably more light than Pout (LRV 64), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.5, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Pout vs Calamine in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Pout 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Calamine gives the walls a little more lift.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Calamine reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Calamine reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Calamine has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Pout vs Calamine Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Pout 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.
