Mizzle vs Ebbtide
Mizzle is a Farrow & Ball color while Ebbtide comes from Sherwin-Williams. Hue-wise, Mizzle belongs to the grey family and Ebbtide to the blue family. At LRV 52 vs 41, Mizzle will read as the brighter of the two — a 10-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Mizzle's warm character against Ebbtide's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 21.6, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 8 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Mizzle vs Ebbtide in Real Spaces
8 real rooms side by side. Seeing Mizzle and Ebbtide 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
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Mizzle returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Mizzle will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Ebbtide would.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The LRV gap is large enough that Mizzle will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Ebbtide would.
Dining Room
Dining room light is typically the warmest in the house, which shifts both colors toward the red end of the spectrum compared to daylight. Mizzle reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Ebbtide.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Mizzle will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Ebbtide would.
Home Office
In a home office, wall color sits in your peripheral vision for hours at a time, so temperature and undertone matter more than you might expect. The LRV gap is large enough that Mizzle will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Ebbtide would.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Mizzle will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Ebbtide would.
Front Door
Front doors are seen in isolation against the rest of the facade, which makes them a high-stakes surface where even subtle differences matter. 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 Ebbtide Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Mizzle on one side and Ebbtide 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.
