Sliced Cucumber vs Mizzle
Sliced Cucumber (Behr) and Mizzle (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 9-point LRV gap — 60 for Sliced Cucumber vs 52 for Mizzle — means Sliced Cucumber will open up a space more effectively. Where Sliced Cucumber leans yellow, Mizzle reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 4.6 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 6 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Sliced Cucumber vs Mizzle in Real Spaces
6 real rooms side by side. Sliced Cucumber 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. Sliced Cucumber reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Mizzle.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Sliced Cucumber returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Sliced Cucumber returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Sliced Cucumber returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
House
A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. Sliced Cucumber returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Sliced Cucumber returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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