Eddy vs Mizzle paint color comparison

Eddy vs Mizzle

EddyFarrow & BallvsMizzleFarrow & BallΔE 3.9Noticeable difference

Both are Farrow & Ball colors. Eddy reads as yellow, while Mizzle reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 59 vs 52, Eddy will read as the brighter of the two — a 7-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 3.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Eddy vs Mizzle in Real Spaces

5 real rooms side by side. Eddy 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. Eddy has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Bedroom

Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The brightness difference is modest but present — Eddy gives the walls a little more lift.

Bathroom

Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The brightness difference is modest but present — Eddy gives the walls a little more lift.

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.
