Goosewing vs Mizzle
Where Goosewing belongs to Dulux's range, Mizzle is a Farrow & Ball color. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Mizzle (LRV 52) reflects noticeably more light than Goosewing (LRV 42), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Goosewing runs neutral while Mizzle is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Goosewing vs Mizzle in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Goosewing 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 LRV gap is large enough that Mizzle will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Goosewing 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 Goosewing.
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 Goosewing.
House
Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. Mizzle reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Goosewing.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. Mizzle reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Goosewing.
