Melrose Pink vs Mizzle
Where Melrose Pink belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mizzle is a Farrow & Ball color. Melrose Pink reads as pink, while Mizzle reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Mizzle (LRV 52) reflects noticeably more light than Melrose Pink (LRV 26), a difference of 25 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Melrose Pink runs red while Mizzle is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 43.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
