Gray Cardigan vs Mizzle
Where Gray Cardigan belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mizzle is a Farrow & Ball color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Mizzle (LRV 52) reflects noticeably more light than Gray Cardigan (LRV 35), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Gray Cardigan runs green and blue while Mizzle is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 14.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
