Calamine No. 230 by Farrow & Ball is a delicate pink with a touch of grey—named after the classic lotion used to soothe childhood nettle stings and rashes. That hint of grey is what makes Calamine so easy to use: it keeps the pink subtle and fresh, rather than overly sweet.
In smaller rooms, Calamine can feel more intense and enveloping, while in larger, well-lit spaces it reads much more delicate and airy. It’s a lovely choice for bedrooms, nurseries, powder rooms, and anywhere you want a soft, flattering colour with a modern edge.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: White and Light Tones.
Complementary white: All White.
