Mizzle vs Sage
Mizzle is a Farrow & Ball color while Sage comes from Sherwin-Williams. Hue-wise, Mizzle belongs to the grey family and Sage to the beige-greige family. At LRV 52 vs 42, Mizzle will read as the brighter of the two — a 10-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a warm quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 9.4, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Mizzle vs Sage in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Mizzle and Sage 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
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.
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 Sage 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 Sage would.

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