Mizzle vs Crushed Ice
Mizzle (Farrow & Ball) and Crushed Ice (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Mizzle belongs to the grey family and Crushed Ice to the greige-grey family. The 14-point LRV gap — 66 for Crushed Ice vs 52 for Mizzle — means Crushed Ice 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. ΔE 8.2 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 8 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Mizzle vs Crushed Ice in Real Spaces
8 real rooms side by side. Mizzle and Crushed Ice 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
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. Crushed Ice reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Mizzle.
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. Crushed Ice returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Crushed Ice 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 Crushed Ice will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Mizzle would.
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. Crushed Ice returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
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. Crushed Ice returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
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. Crushed Ice returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Front Door
On a front door, the color is both the first and last thing you see — a context where even a modest tonal difference reads clearly. Crushed Ice reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Mizzle.

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