Kitten Whiskers vs Mizzle

Kitten WhiskersBenjamin MoorevsMizzleFarrow & BallΔE 8.8Noticeable difference

Where Kitten Whiskers belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mizzle is a Farrow & Ball color. Kitten Whiskers reads as beige-greige, while Mizzle reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Kitten Whiskers (LRV 65) reflects noticeably more light than Mizzle (LRV 52), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Kitten Whiskers runs red while Mizzle is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Kitten Whiskers vs Mizzle in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Kitten Whiskers and Mizzle are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Living Room

In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Kitten Whiskers will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Mizzle would.

Digital color is approximate.

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