How they read
In their own wordsRobin's Nest 618 is a light colour from Benjamin Moore's Classics collection, which the brand describes as "a perfect powder blue gently kissed by a touch of green". Its LRV is 68.45, so it reads light and airy rather than saturated.
Calke 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.
