What color is Farrow and Ball Calamine?
Farrow and Ball Calamine 230 is a pale, muted pink with a softly warm, beige-leaning cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading sugary, giving walls a lightly powdered look instead. In bright daylight, Calamine appears airy and peach-tinted, while evening light can draw out its warmer, more subdued blush notes. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, and softly colored living spaces, particularly on full walls where its gentle depth is easy to appreciate. Pair it with off-white trim, warm oak, natural linen, or clay-toned ceramics for a quiet, grounded palette.

LRV of Calamine
Calamine has an LRV of 67.54% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 67.54%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
