Catalina Blue vs Mizzle
Catalina Blue is a Benjamin Moore color while Mizzle comes from Farrow & Ball. Catalina Blue reads as blue-green, while Mizzle reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 52 vs 48, Mizzle will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Catalina Blue's cool character against Mizzle's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 7.6, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

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.
