Royal Flax vs Mizzle
Where Royal Flax belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mizzle is a Farrow & Ball color. Hue-wise, Royal Flax belongs to the beige-greige family and Mizzle to the grey family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (53 vs 52), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Royal Flax runs red while Mizzle is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
