Sandstone (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Mizzle (LRV 52), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 8.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Sandstone vs Mizzle in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Sandstone 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 Sandstone will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Mizzle 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. Sandstone reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Mizzle.
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. Sandstone reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Mizzle.

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