Harbor Fog vs Mizzle
Where Harbor Fog belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mizzle is a Farrow & Ball color. Harbor Fog reads as blue, while Mizzle reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Harbor Fog (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Mizzle (LRV 52), a difference of 23 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Harbor Fog runs blue while Mizzle is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 17.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Harbor Fog vs Mizzle Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Harbor Fog on one side and Mizzle on the other.
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.
