Off White runs yellow while Mizzle is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 12.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Off White vs Mizzle in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Off White 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 Off White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Mizzle would.
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. Off White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Off White reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Mizzle.

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.
