Ivory vs Mizzle

IvoryDuluxvsMizzleFarrow & BallΔE 13.0Distinct difference

Ivory is a Dulux color while Mizzle comes from Farrow & Ball. Hue-wise, Ivory belongs to the beige family and Mizzle to the grey family. At LRV 69 vs 52, Ivory will read as the brighter of the two — a 17-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a warm quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 13.0, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
