WinterwoodBenjamin MoorevsMizzleFarrow & BallΔE 1.8Subtle difference

Where Winterwood belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mizzle is a Farrow & Ball color. Hue-wise, Winterwood belongs to the greige-grey family and Mizzle to the grey family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (51 vs 52), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Winterwood runs yellow while Mizzle is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources.

Digital color is approximate.

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