Calamine is a pale orange from Farrow & Ball. As a premium paint, it’s a popular colour to seek out close matches and value-brand alternatives to.
Coral Cream by Johnstone's is the closest match from any other brand (near-identical) — and it holds Calamine’s lightness, warmth and saturation alike. It’s also the best-value tier of the close matches — unusual, as the nearest match and the best-value one usually differ. 5 of the 8 other brands have a near-identical match. LRV is estimated from each brand’s swatch, so order testers before committing.
