Stone HearthBenjamin MoorevsMizzleFarrow & BallΔE 5.1Noticeable difference

Mizzle (LRV 52) reflects noticeably more light than Stone Hearth (LRV 48), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
