Calico vs Rose

Calico and Rose come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Calico belongs to the blue-green family and Rose to the pink family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 35 vs 34 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 25.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
