Digital color is approximate.

Mizzle vs S 1502-Y in Real Spaces
Mizzle and S 1502-Y are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone. These real-room photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions. Showing 4 room types where both colors have photos.
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 S 1502-Y will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Mizzle would.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. S 1502-Y returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
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. S 1502-Y reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Mizzle.
Kitchen Cabinets
