Baja Dunes vs Mizzle

Baja DunesBenjamin MoorevsMizzleFarrow & BallΔE 9.7Noticeable difference

Baja Dunes is a Benjamin Moore color while Mizzle comes from Farrow & Ball. Baja Dunes reads as beige-greige, while Mizzle reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 52 vs 41, Mizzle will read as the brighter of the two — a 10-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Baja Dunes's red character against Mizzle's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 9.7, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Baja Dunes vs Mizzle in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Baja Dunes 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.

Bedroom

Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Mizzle will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Baja Dunes would.

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.
