Polar Ice vs Mizzle
Where Polar Ice belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mizzle is a Farrow & Ball color. Hue-wise, Polar Ice belongs to the blue family and Mizzle to the grey family. Polar Ice (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Mizzle (LRV 52), a difference of 22 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Polar Ice runs blue while Mizzle is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 14.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
