Farrow and Ball Calamine 230 paint color review

Official color page:Calamine 230
Color code:230
Color name:Calamine
Brand:Farrow and Ball

A light touch of grey prevents this subtle pink from being too sugary, giving a much fresher finish. In smaller rooms it becomes intense, but in larger well lit rooms it feels much more calm and delicate.
