Nantucket Gray vs Mizzle
Nantucket Gray is a Benjamin Moore color while Mizzle comes from Farrow & Ball. Nantucket Gray reads as beige-greige, while Mizzle reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 52 vs 40, Mizzle will read as the brighter of the two — a 12-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Nantucket Gray's yellow character against Mizzle's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 9.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Nantucket Gray vs Mizzle in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Nantucket 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.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Mizzle returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Mizzle will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Nantucket Gray would.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Mizzle will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Nantucket Gray would.
Front Door
Front doors are seen in isolation against the rest of the facade, which makes them a high-stakes surface where even subtle differences matter. Mizzle returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen Cabinets
On cabinetry, undertone and temperature become more pronounced against countertops and hardware. The LRV gap is large enough that Mizzle will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Nantucket Gray would.

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.
