Abingdon Putty vs Mizzle
Where Abingdon Putty belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mizzle is a Farrow & Ball color. Abingdon Putty reads as beige-yellow, while Mizzle reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Abingdon Putty (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Mizzle (LRV 52), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Abingdon Putty runs yellow while Mizzle is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
