Mizzle vs Off-Black

MizzleFarrow & BallvsOff-BlackFarrow & BallΔE 49.4Very different colors

Mizzle and Off-Black come from the same Farrow & Ball collection. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 45-point LRV gap — 52 for Mizzle vs 6 for Off-Black — means Mizzle will open up a space more effectively. Where Mizzle leans warm, Off-Black reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 49.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 2 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.
