Bennington Gray vs Mizzle
Where Bennington Gray belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mizzle is a Farrow & Ball color. Bennington Gray reads as beige-greige, while Mizzle reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Mizzle (LRV 52) reflects noticeably more light than Bennington Gray (LRV 47), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bennington Gray runs red while Mizzle is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Bennington Gray vs Mizzle in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Bennington Gray 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Mizzle gives the walls a little more lift.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Mizzle has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
House
Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. Mizzle reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
