Metro Gray vs Mizzle
Where Metro Gray belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mizzle is a Farrow & Ball color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Metro Gray (LRV 58) reflects noticeably more light than Mizzle (LRV 52), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Metro Gray runs yellow while Mizzle is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Metro Gray vs Mizzle in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Metro Gray 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.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. Metro Gray reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
