Mizzle vs Waterscape
Where Mizzle belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, Waterscape is a Sherwin-Williams color. Mizzle reads as grey, while Waterscape reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Waterscape (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Mizzle (LRV 52), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mizzle runs warm while Waterscape is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Mizzle vs Waterscape in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Mizzle and Waterscape 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Waterscape will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Mizzle would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Waterscape reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Mizzle.
Front Door
A front door is a focal point — small color differences read clearly at this concentrated scale. The LRV gap is large enough that Waterscape will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Mizzle would.

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.
