Ruby Red vs Mizzle

Ruby RedBenjamin MoorevsMizzleFarrow & BallΔE 78.7Very different colors

Ruby Red (Benjamin Moore) and Mizzle (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Ruby Red belongs to the pink-red family and Mizzle to the grey family. The 36-point LRV gap — 52 for Mizzle vs 16 for Ruby Red — means Mizzle will open up a space more effectively. Where Ruby Red leans red, Mizzle reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 78.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.
