Calamine vs Bare Pink
Where Calamine belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, Bare Pink is a PPG color. Calamine reads as pink-red, while Bare Pink reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Bare Pink (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Calamine (LRV 68), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 8.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
