Ocean Ripple vs Mizzle
Ocean Ripple is a Dulux color while Mizzle comes from Farrow & Ball. Hue-wise, Ocean Ripple belongs to the blue family and Mizzle to the grey family. At LRV 85 vs 52, Ocean Ripple will read as the brighter of the two — a 34-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Ocean Ripple's cool character against Mizzle's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 18.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Ocean Ripple vs Mizzle in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Seeing Ocean Ripple 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
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. Ocean Ripple returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Ocean Ripple will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Mizzle would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Ocean Ripple will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Mizzle would.
Home Office
In a home office, wall color sits in your peripheral vision for hours at a time, so temperature and undertone matter more than you might expect. The LRV gap is large enough that Ocean Ripple will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Mizzle would.

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