Nypd vs Mizzle
Where Nypd belongs to Behr's range, Mizzle is a Farrow & Ball color. Nypd reads as blue-grey, while Mizzle reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Mizzle (LRV 52) reflects noticeably more light than Nypd (LRV 15), a difference of 37 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Nypd runs blue while Mizzle is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 35.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Nypd vs Mizzle in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Seeing Nypd and Mizzle in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Mizzle will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Nypd would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Mizzle reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Nypd.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Mizzle 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 Nypd 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.
