Dove vs Mizzle
Dove (Behr) and Mizzle (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Dove belongs to the beige-greige family and Mizzle to the grey family. The 14-point LRV gap — 66 for Dove vs 52 for Mizzle — means Dove will open up a space more effectively. Where Dove leans red, Mizzle reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 8.3 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Dove vs Mizzle in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Dove 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. Dove reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Mizzle.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Dove returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Dove on one side and Mizzle on the other.
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.
