S 1502-Y vs Mizzle
S 1502-Y (NCS) and Mizzle (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, S 1502-Y belongs to the greige-grey family and Mizzle to the grey family. The 13-point LRV gap — 64 for S 1502-Y vs 52 for Mizzle — means S 1502-Y 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. ΔE 6.6 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
S 1502-Y vs Mizzle in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. S 1502-Y and Mizzle 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. S 1502-Y reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Mizzle.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The LRV gap is large enough that S 1502-Y will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Mizzle would.
House
A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. S 1502-Y returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. S 1502-Y returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

S 1502-Y vs Mizzle Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see S 1502-Y on one side and Mizzle 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.
