Deer Trail vs Mizzle
Where Deer Trail belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mizzle is a Farrow & Ball color. Deer Trail reads as beige-greige, while Mizzle reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Mizzle (LRV 52) reflects noticeably more light than Deer Trail (LRV 17), a difference of 34 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Deer Trail runs red while Mizzle is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 33.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
