Galaxy vs Mizzle
Galaxy 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. At LRV 52 vs 6, Mizzle will read as the brighter of the two — a 45-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Galaxy's purple character against Mizzle's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 53.1, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Galaxy vs Mizzle in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Galaxy and Mizzle in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Mizzle will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Galaxy would.
Front Door
Front doors are seen in isolation against the rest of the facade, which makes them a high-stakes surface where even subtle differences matter. Mizzle returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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.
