Mizzle vs Kumquat
Mizzle (Farrow & Ball) and Kumquat (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Mizzle reads as grey, while Kumquat reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 10-point LRV gap — 52 for Mizzle vs 41 for Kumquat — means Mizzle 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. A ΔE of 44.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Mizzle on one side and Kumquat 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.
