Calamine

At first glance, Calamine belongs to the pink family; in a room, light and context can make it far more elusive. Its pink and red classifications hint at the directions it may take as daylight, lamps and neighboring colors move around it. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
