Calico vs Marine paint color comparison

Calico vs Marine

CalicoSherwin-WilliamsvsMarineSherwin-WilliamsΔE 2.5 — Subtle difference

Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Calico reads as blue-green, while Marine reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 35 and 36, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. They share a cool quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. With a ΔE of 2.5, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
