Mizzle vs Dumpling
Where Mizzle belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, Dumpling is a Sherwin-Williams color. Mizzle reads as grey, while Dumpling reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Dumpling (LRV 64) reflects noticeably more light than Mizzle (LRV 52), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 6.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Mizzle vs Dumpling in Real Spaces

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.
