Mauve Bauhaus vs Mizzle
Where Mauve Bauhaus belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mizzle is a Farrow & Ball color. Mauve Bauhaus reads as blue-purple, while Mizzle reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Mizzle (LRV 52) reflects noticeably more light than Mauve Bauhaus (LRV 13), a difference of 39 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mauve Bauhaus runs purple while Mizzle is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 55.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
