Blue Bliss vs Mizzle
Where Blue Bliss belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Mizzle is a Farrow & Ball color. Blue Bliss reads as blue, while Mizzle reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

With a ΔE of 44.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Blue Bliss vs Mizzle in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Blue Bliss 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
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 LRV gap is large enough that Mizzle will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Blue Bliss would.
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 reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Blue Bliss.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Mizzle reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Blue Bliss.
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. Mizzle returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
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. Mizzle reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Blue Bliss.

Digital color is approximate.
