Undine vs Mizzle

UndineBehrvsMizzleFarrow & BallΔE 19.2Distinct difference

Where Undine belongs to Behr's range, Mizzle is a Farrow & Ball color. Undine reads as blue, while Mizzle reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Mizzle (LRV 52) reflects noticeably more light than Undine (LRV 43), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Undine runs green and blue while Mizzle is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.2, 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 6 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
