Tranquility vs Mizzle

TranquilityBenjamin MoorevsMizzleFarrow & BallΔE 4.3Noticeable difference

Where Tranquility belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mizzle is a Farrow & Ball color. Hue-wise, Tranquility belongs to the green-grey family and Mizzle to the grey family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (53 vs 52), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Tranquility runs green while Mizzle is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Tranquility vs Mizzle in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Tranquility 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 temperature contrast between Mizzle and Tranquility is what sets these apart most in this context.

Bedroom

The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Mizzle brings more warmth to the space, while Tranquility keeps things cooler and crisper.

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.
