Pale Loden vs Mizzle
Pale Loden (Cloverdale Paint) and Mizzle (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Pale Loden belongs to the green-grey family and Mizzle to the grey family. The 12-point LRV gap — 64 for Pale Loden vs 52 for Mizzle — means Pale Loden will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 7.0 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Pale Loden vs Mizzle in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Pale Loden 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Pale Loden reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Mizzle.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Pale Loden returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Pale Loden returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The LRV gap is large enough that Pale Loden will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Mizzle would.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Pale Loden returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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