Dimpse vs Mizzle
Both are Farrow & Ball colors. Dimpse reads as greige-grey, while Mizzle reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 68 vs 52, Dimpse 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 9.7, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 6 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Dimpse vs Mizzle in Real Spaces
6 real rooms side by side. Dimpse 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
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. Dimpse 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 Dimpse will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Mizzle would.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The LRV gap is large enough that Dimpse will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Mizzle would.
Dining Room
Dining room light is typically the warmest in the house, which shifts both colors toward the red end of the spectrum compared to daylight. Dimpse reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Mizzle.
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 Dimpse will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Mizzle would.

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