Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Hue-wise, Calico belongs to the blue-green family and Red Clover to the pink-red family. At LRV 35 vs 27, Calico will read as the brighter of the two — a 7-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a cool quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 36.3, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

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.
