Silver Marlin vs Mizzle
Where Silver Marlin belongs to Behr's range, Mizzle is a Farrow & Ball color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Silver Marlin (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Mizzle (LRV 52), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Silver Marlin runs yellow while Mizzle is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Silver Marlin vs Mizzle in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Silver Marlin 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
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 brightness difference is modest but present — Silver Marlin gives the walls a little more lift.
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. Silver Marlin has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Silver Marlin vs Mizzle Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Silver Marlin 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.
