Mizzle vs Clover
Mizzle (Farrow & Ball) and Clover (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Mizzle reads as grey, while Clover reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The NaN-point LRV gap — NaN for Clover vs 52 for Mizzle — means Clover will open up a space more effectively. Where Mizzle leans warm, Clover reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of NaN puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 8 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Mizzle vs Clover in Real Spaces
8 real rooms side by side. Seeing Mizzle and Clover 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 brings more warmth to the space, while Clover keeps things cooler and crisper.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Clover reads more restrained here, while Mizzle adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Clover reads more restrained here, while Mizzle adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The temperature contrast between Mizzle and Clover is what sets these apart most in this context.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Clover reads more restrained here, while Mizzle adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
Home Office
Home office walls matter more than most — you're looking at them all day, and a color that reads fine at first can become tiring over time. Clover reads more restrained here, while Mizzle adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
House
A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. Clover reads more restrained here, while Mizzle adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.

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