Chinese Jade vs Mizzle
Chinese Jade (Behr) and Mizzle (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Chinese Jade reads as yellow, while Mizzle reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 9-point LRV gap — 61 for Chinese Jade vs 52 for Mizzle — means Chinese Jade will open up a space more effectively. Where Chinese Jade leans green, Mizzle reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 6.6 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Chinese Jade vs Mizzle in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Chinese Jade and Mizzle are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Chinese Jade reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Mizzle.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Chinese Jade returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
