Simply Sage vs Mizzle
Where Simply Sage 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. Mizzle (LRV 52) reflects noticeably more light than Simply Sage (LRV 38), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Simply Sage runs yellow while Mizzle is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.6 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.
