Eternity vs Mizzle

EternityBenjamin MoorevsMizzleFarrow & BallΔE 8.0Noticeable difference

Eternity is a Benjamin Moore color while Mizzle comes from Farrow & Ball. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. With LRVs of 52 and 52, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Eternity's blue character against Mizzle's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 8.0, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
