Stonington Gray vs Mizzle
Where Stonington Gray belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mizzle is a Farrow & Ball color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Stonington Gray (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than Mizzle (LRV 52), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Stonington Gray runs yellow while Mizzle is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 6 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Stonington Gray vs Mizzle in Real Spaces
6 real rooms side by side. Stonington Gray and Mizzle are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Stonington Gray gives the walls a little more lift.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Stonington Gray reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Stonington Gray reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Stonington Gray has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Stonington Gray reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. Stonington Gray reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Stonington Gray vs Mizzle Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Stonington Gray 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.
