Calamine vs Candy Mix
Calamine is a Farrow & Ball color while Candy Mix comes from PPG. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. At LRV 77 vs 68, Candy Mix will read as the brighter of the two — a 9-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 7.3, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
