Mizzle vs Green Tea
Mizzle (Farrow & Ball) and Green Tea (Jotun) come from different manufacturers. Mizzle reads as grey, while Green Tea reads as beige-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 20-point LRV gap — 52 for Mizzle vs 32 for Green Tea — means Mizzle will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 17.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Mizzle vs Green Tea in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Seeing Mizzle and Green Tea 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Mizzle reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Green Tea.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Mizzle returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The LRV gap is large enough that Mizzle will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Green Tea would.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Mizzle returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Mizzle vs Green Tea Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Mizzle on one side and Green Tea 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.
