Ice Flow vs Mizzle
Ice Flow is a Cloverdale Paint color while Mizzle comes from Farrow & Ball. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. At LRV 55 vs 52, Ice Flow will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 5.1, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Ice Flow vs Mizzle in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Ice Flow 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
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Ice Flow has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The brightness difference is modest but present — Ice Flow gives the walls a little more lift.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The brightness difference is modest but present — Ice Flow gives the walls a little more lift.
Dining Room
Dining room light is typically the warmest in the house, which shifts both colors toward the red end of the spectrum compared to daylight. Ice Flow reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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