Symphony Blue vs Mizzle

Symphony BlueBenjamin MoorevsMizzleFarrow & BallΔE 61.9Very different colors

Symphony Blue is a Benjamin Moore color while Mizzle comes from Farrow & Ball. Symphony Blue reads as blue, while Mizzle reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 52 vs 6, Mizzle will read as the brighter of the two — a 45-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Symphony Blue's blue character against Mizzle's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 61.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Symphony Blue and Mizzle in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.

Living Room

Bedroom

Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Mizzle will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Symphony Blue would.

Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Mizzle will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Symphony Blue would.

Front Door

Front doors are seen in isolation against the rest of the facade, which makes them a high-stakes surface where even subtle differences matter. Mizzle returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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.
