How they read
In their own wordsCalke Green takes its name from the breakfast room at Calke Abbey in Derbyshire, and it has the settled, slightly faded quality of a color that has been on a wall for two hundred years. It is a mid-tone green with enough grey to stay calm and enough yellow to stay warm — the green of gardens rather than forests.
Tranquility is a pale grey from Benjamin Moore's Affinity collection with a soft green-blue whisper — the color of sea fog rather than a city sky. At LRV 53 it is a true light-mid tone, and it does exactly what its name suggests: it calms a room without making it cold.
