Guesthouse vs Mizzle
Guesthouse (Benjamin Moore) and Mizzle (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Guesthouse belongs to the beige family and Mizzle to the grey family. The 12-point LRV gap — 52 for Mizzle vs 40 for Guesthouse — means Mizzle will open up a space more effectively. Where Guesthouse leans red, Mizzle reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 24.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
