Seaweed vs Mizzle
Where Seaweed belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mizzle is a Farrow & Ball color. Seaweed reads as green, while Mizzle reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Mizzle (LRV 52) reflects noticeably more light than Seaweed (LRV 12), a difference of 40 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Seaweed runs green while Mizzle is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 53.1, 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.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Seaweed on one side and Mizzle on the other.
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.
