Farrow & Ball Mizzle: Dupes, matches, coordinating colors, and Sarah’s full review

Who doesn’t love a good portmanteau?

Think Brangelina, brunch, or Bennifer (and Bennifer 2.0, RIP)—there’s something undeniably fun about a clever mash-up.

In the paint world, we have Mizzle from Farrow & Ball.

A blend of the words “mist” and “drizzle,” Mizzle is a soft, pale gray-green color with a lovely, understated charm.

Its popularity has grown in recent years, thanks to the rising interest in green paint and the enduring appeal of Farrow & Ball shades like Green Smoke and Pigeon (read my reviews of those colors here and here).farrow ball mizzle match, mizzle dupe

Farrow & Ball Mizzle Review

In this post, we’ll explore Mizzle‘s undertones, discuss coordinating colors, review the best way to sample Mizzle, look at lots of photos of Mizzle used in real-life projects, and study the closest dupes and matches to Mizzle from more accessible paint brands, such as Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, Behr, and PPG.

Let’s get into it! farrow ball mizzle match

What Color is Farrow & Ball Mizzle?

Farrow & Ball Mizzle is a pale, airy gray-green.

Mizzle is a LIGHTER version of Farrow & Ball Blue Gray and Pigeon.

Mizzle is also LIGHTER than Farrow & Ball Vert de Terre.farrow ball mizzle match

Mizzle is one shade DARKER than Farrow & Ball Cromarty.farrow ball mizzle kitchen

Mizzle is also slightly darker than Farrow & Ball Eddy, another pale green.

Let’s study the subtle differences among these shades:farrow ball mizzle dupe

Why is Green Paint So Popular Right Now?

A decade ago, Farrow & Ball Hague Blue was the British paint manufacturer’s most sought-after color. (Hague Blue remains immensely popular—read my review and discover dupes here.)

But in the past several years, as interest in green paint has surged, colors such as Farrow & Ball Green Smoke, Pigeon, Mizzle, and Bancha have emerged as customer and designer favorites.

(Speaking of Bancha, did you see my round-up of the best olive green paint colors?)

Color experts attribute the interest in green paint to the pandemic. “During tough times, we tend to turn to healing colors associated with nature,” Sue Wadden, global color director of Sherwin-Williams, told me.farrow ball mizzle match

What are Farrow & Ball’s most popular green paint colors? These are the top 15, according to recent sales data. I’ve placed them in order from lightest (Cromarty) to darkest (Studio Green):

Farrow & Ball Mizzle Cabinets

Many of my consultation clients request green cabinetry and millwork, and Farrow & Ball Mizzle is a lovely option if you want a pale, tranquil green.farrow ball mizzle kitchen

Considering Mizzle for your kitchen?farrow ball mizzle dupe

One approach: pair it with Farrow & Ball Green Smoke.

That’s what Susan Long did in this 1830s Connecticut farmhouse:

That’s Mizzle on the island with Green Smoke on the ice-box-style cabinetry. For a warm white paint color similar to the perimeter cabinetry, try this one or this one.farrow ball mizzle kitchen

I love the understated hood here, the square backsplash tile, and the beautiful copper pots hung over the Wolf range. The island is topped with Caesarstone rugged concrete, the hardware is by Armac Martin, the pendants are by RH, and the counter stools are by Lawson Fenning.

Mizzle also looks lovely paired with blue-gray. In this New Jersey beach house, below, designer Joe Lucas (who owns the wonderful shop Harbinger) painted the perimeter cabinetry Mizzle and the island Benjamin Moore Slate Blue:

The stools are from Bliss Studio and the vintage copper pendants were sourced from Santa Ynez General.

In this photo, below, the island color appears darker than Slate Blue, closer to Bracing Blue or Oxford Gray:

The Tolson drawer pulls are from Rejuvenation.farrow ball mizzle match

Lucas painted the hood, open shelving, and crown molding Mizzle to match the perimeter cabinetry.

I love the grooved wood countertop on this portion of the cabinetry, below. For a similar look, try sapele or walnut.

Also, notice how Lucas painted the window casings Slate Blue to match the island, just visible at the left in the image, below. Clever, clever.

Designer Sarah Sherman Samuel was an early adopter of Mizzle, which she used in this Pasadena, California kitchen, below, completed in 2018:farrow ball mizzle kitchen

Built in 1950 by modernist architect Harold B. Zook, this mid-century jewel had an anachronistically traditional kitchen (see the photos here) before actor Mandy Moore snatched it up in 2017. She recruited Samuel and architect Emily Farnham to helm a gut renovation.

The kitchen cabinets are painted Mizzle and the walls, hood, and ceiling are painted Farrow & Ball All White.

The backsplash and waterfall island are Calacatta marble and the Alfi stools are by Jasper Morrison.

You can find the pink plates and bowls here and the glass storage containers here.farrow ball mizzle kitchen

The brass finger pulls are by Colonial Bronze.farrow ball mizzle match

The pendants are by Cedar & Moss and the faucet is by Newport Brass.farrow ball mizzle dupe

The house sold in 2024 for $5.8 million ($200,000 below asking, if you care about these things). Click here to see the listing.

In this more modest, albeit no less charming, kitchen in southwest London, we find Mizzle cabinets paired with Calamine walls:

And in this Nashville kitchen, the Mizzle-painted-cabinets look lovely with the greenery visible through the abundant windows:

In her Savannah, Georgia kitchen, below, Monica Lavin painted the cabinets Mizzle and, I was very happy to see, installed brass Forbes & Lomax switch plates on the backsplash. Brava for not ruining that tile with plastic!

And in this very cool project in North London, designer Maria Speake used Mizzle as a backdrop for the reclaimed Art Deco-style cabinets:

I love how clever and original this is — Speake salvaged mirrors from the entrance hall of a 1930s London office building and installed them on upper cabinet fronts. She used two mahogany museum cabinets to create an island and saved the leftover elements to install as inlays on the cabinet fronts. Over the island, she hung an array of affordable globe pendant lights from Lampsy.

Speake carried Mizzle into the kitchen’s dining area, which she furnished with a vintage hand-painted Coptic wall hanging, a custom iroko table, and Ernest Race chairs covered in vintage fabrics and Neisha Crosland’s “Hedgehog” linen. Notice how the lovely floor-to-ceiling sheer draperies match the wall color.farrow ball mizzle dupe

Speake is committed to using repurposed items in her projects. Indeed, her firm, Retrovius, which she founded with Adam Hills, was built on the philosophy of rescuing salvaged and vintage pieces from the landfill.

“Remember, most of what we are putting in our projects today will be ripped out in 10 years,” Speake said when she accepted the 2019 House & Garden Designer of the Year award. “So use screws, not glue.”

Farrow & Ball Mizzle Living Rooms

In this shingle-style cottage in Mountain Brook, Alabama, designers Courtney Coleman and Bill Brockschmidt (alliteration!) painted the living room walls Mizzle:farrow ball mizzle match

The designers worked to balance the homeowner’s existing neoclassical pieces with modern punches, including the bright blue lacquer on the living room coffee table, which enlivens the palette.

Notice how in this room, above, they also painted the door and window muntins black, a design trick that draws the eye outward.

“The view into the garden is so beautiful that we wanted to bring as much of that inside as possible,” Coleman explains.

The designers whitewashed the original wood beams and arranged the homeowner’s antiques against the Mizzle walls.

“In this environment, we gave them room to breathe, ” Coleman said. “A clean background where you can really see them in a pretty way.”

Above, the designers carried Mizzle into the breakfast room and transformed an awkward nook into a beautiful built-in secrétaire with a drop-down desk.farrow ball mizzle dupe

Here’s another view of the Mizzle breakfast room. The relaxed Roman shade fabric is Indhira in Ambre by Le Manach for Pierre Frey. The pink-and-red sari-inspired textile looks beautiful against the green-gray backdrop of Mizzle.

Below, designer Elizabeth Hay selected the same Le Manach fabric for this green Connecticut bedroom. The walls are painted Sage by Sherwin-Williams (a color similar to Farrow & Ball French Gray). The turquoise Bunny Williams lamp is topped with a shade in Penny Morrison fabric.

Farrow & Ball Mizzle Bedrooms

Speaking of bedrooms, in this Georgian-era home on the Cornish coast, Bianca Fincham used Mizzle in a charming attic room:

The simple design here was inspired by a similar room at Ben Pentreath’s Dorset parsonage (I highly recommend Ben’s latest book, where he shares many of his sources). The pillows are by Poppy and Honesty, a Cornwall shop that sells lovely linens.

Mizzle also looks pretty on the wall paneling in this bedroom, below:farrow ball mizzle kitchen

Above, the wallcovering is by Boråstapeter (I love their wallpapers, especially this one) and the rattan bed is by Loaf.

Here’s another bedroom painted Mizzle, this time on the upper wall. The wall paneling is painted Pigeon and the built-in wardrobe is Shaded White, both by Farrow & Ball:farrow ball mizzle kitchen

Lastly, designer Isabella Worsley selected Mizzle for this bedroom in a lovely home on England’s Southern Coast:

The “Ankara” bedside lamp is by Vaughan and the Hanataba pillow fabric is by Robert Kime. The home is situated in Hove, a seaside resort town. You can view the whole project here.

Worsley isn’t one to shy away from color (note the pink kitchen in the Hove project) and she often uses Farrow & Ball in her work, including this beautiful Chelsea townhouse with kitchen cabinets painted Green Smoke:

The countertops are Arabescato marble—note the lovely double bullnose detail—and the range is by Miele.

Love this kitchen? Don’t miss my full review of Green Smoke (and closest dupes).

Farrow & Ball Mizzle Bathrooms

I love green and pink together. Also love? Green and orange. In this bathroom in Hertfordshire, Alice Cadogan painted the walls Mizzle and dipped the bathtub in poppy-colored Charlotte’s Locks, also by Farrow & Ball:

Cadogan refinished an oak Edwardian washstand and paired it with a rosso levanto marble countertop and splashback. The Di Scacchi tumbled marble floor tile is by Mandarin Stone and the Florenza Basin sink is from Crosswater London.

And here’s Mizzle with its darker cousin, Pigeon, on the beadboard wainscot (read all about Pigeon and its cult following here):

And lastly, another bathroom painted Mizzle:farrow ball mizzle dupe

This is High Road House, a Soho House hotel in London originally designed by Ilse Crawford (when it opened, in 2006) and updated eight years later by Alexander Waterworth.farrow ball mizzle kitchen

Most hospitality spaces are updated, or completely redesigned, every five to eight years, something I was slightly surprised to learn when I designed hotels and restaurants.

Indeed, the Mizzle-painted guest rooms at High Road House have since been replaced with this two-tone scheme, below:

To recreate this look, pair Green Smoke with Slipper Satin or Shaded White. And don’t forget the Shaker peg rails—I like the ones sold here.

Farrow & Ball Mizzle Exteriors

With its soft green undertones, Mizzle is a lovely color for front doors and shutters.

For this home in Dallas, above, designer Lindley Arthur selected Mizzle for the shutters and painted the brick Shaded White. The serene tones look beautiful in this setting, with the lush tree canopy.

Here’s the before photo:farrow ball mizzle dupe

Arthur gave the home a new front door (painted high-gloss black), new brass hardware, a new portico, and new copper gas lanterns (you can find my favorite copper exterior fixtures here and here). She also updated the landscaping and walkway, added a front seating area, and swapped out the existing shutters for larger, more appropriately sized ones.

Just a few small changes, you know.farrow ball mizzle dupe

Also consider Mizzle for your front door, especially if you’re drawn to a cottage aesthetic:

Above, the charming Dutch door is painted Mizzle and the stucco is painted Pointing. The sconces are from Jim Lawrence.

For any green thumbs out there (I aspire), the flowers above include Sea Thrift, foxgloves, and English lavender.

(Speaking of English lavender, I’ve been loving two gardening books lately: this helpful book on how to grow an English cottage garden, and this wonderful book on how to use color in gardens.)

What’s fun is that this homeowner uses her Mizzle-painted door to model her faux wreaths, so you can see it dressed for different seasons:

Farrow & Ball Mizzle Undertones

Farrow & Ball Mizzle is not a TRUE green. Yes, its undertones are predominantly green-gray but Mizzle is also subtly blue.

In fact, confusingly, on its website Farrow & Ball categorizes Mizzle as a “blue” paint color, not a green one. Eddy, Cromarty, and Pigeon are classified as green colors, however, so this could simply be an oversight.

Of course, any paint color’s undertones shift depending on the time of day, lighting conditions, and surrounding colors. But this variability is particularly true of neutrals—meaning, colors lacking strong purity or saturation of color—including Mizzle.

So if you don’t like blue—or want to avoid selecting a paint color that could flash blue in certain contexts—you’re better off choosing a truer green, such as Vert de Terre (one of my favorites), Lichen, Green Ground, or Cooking Apple Green.

Below are several in situ photos of Mizzle that illustrate its subtle blue undertones:

Complex paint colors can (and will) shift depending on how much natural light your room receives and the type of exposure (north, south, east, or west). That’s why it’s essential to sample, sample, sample before you commit.

How to Sample Mizzle

Which brings me to this resource, which has been a game changer. I love that Samplize peel-and-stick samples are made with real paint. Also great? They deliver overnight. ‘Cause honey, sometimes your painter is coming and you need to make a DECISION.

Seriously, though, the ability to move samples from wall to wall is crucial, particularly when you’re potentially investing hundreds (or thousands) of dollars in paint.

Another reason I love peel-and-stick samples? They’re more cost-effective than ye olde traditional sample pots and are better for the environment, too. No mess; no wasted paint; no half-empty cans languishing in your basement. It’s a win-win.

Farrow & Ball Mizzle Coordinating Colors

Mizzle looks lovely with many colors, including warm white, creamy taupe, other greens (think Blue Gray, Pigeon, and Green Smoke), and pink.farrow ball mizzle dupe

If you want to use neutrals plus other coordinating greens in your scheme, pair Mizzle with the paint colors below:

LINKS TO PAINT COLORS: Pointing, School House White, Shaded White, Blue Gray, and Pigeon (read my full review of Pigeon here)

You Can Use Green with Green!

I love a tonal scheme and Mizzle plays very well with other green paint colors, such as Pigeon, Green Smoke, and Calke Green.

Matilda Goad (she of the adorable lampshades, hardware, and everything else) paired Mizzle walls with Calke Green doors here, to great effect:farrow ball mizzle dupe

And recall how great Mizzle looked in this Connecticut kitchen with Green Smoke-painted cabinets:

And, of course, you can’t go wrong with Mizzle and Pigeon:

Don’t be Afraid of Using Red with Green

I talk quite a bit about this in my review of Farrow & Ball Green Smoke, but it bears repeating: combining cool and warm colors enlivens any interior scheme.

Don’t be afraid of adding red, pink, or yellow to your Mizzle-painted space.

Recall this English bedroom with Mizzle walls, below, in the home of Isabella Worlsey. The designer paired Mizzle with a red headboard, a red block print Vaughan lampshade, and red piping on the Robert Kime cushion:

The yellow chair in this Mizzle-painted living room is unexpected and invigorating:

With its modern backsplash tile and touches of crimson, this kitchen with Mizzle-painted cabinets feels fun and characterful:

Using Mizzle with Other Paint Brands

If you’re using Farrow & Ball Mizzle with colors from a different paint brand, try one of these combinations:

• Sherwin-Williams: Mizzle with Sherwin-Williams Cheviot, Arrowroote, and Sedate Gray
• Behr: Mizzle with Behr Binary Star and Confident White
• Benjamin Moore: Mizzle with Benjamin Moore Gray Cashmere, Capitol White, and Oil Cloth

Here’s an image you can save to Pinterest so you can easily remember these combinations:

And Now, Let Us Discuss LRV

What’s LRV? If you’re acronym-averse, don’t panic.farrow ball mizzle dupe

LRV stands for light reflectance value. LRV is the AMOUNT of light a paint color reflects.

An office painted Mizzle; design by Amanda Bock; photo by Erin Ash Kelly

The LRV spectrum ranges from 0 to 100 — 100 is pure white (reflecting all light), and 0 is pure black (absorbing all light and heat).

If a paint color has an LRV above 50, it REFLECTS more light than it absorbs.

If a color has an LRV below 50, it ABSORBS more light than it reflects.

Mizzle with an island painted Farrow & Ball Down Pipe and Urban Electric Co. Gibson pendants; design by Nadia Watts

Bear in mind, though, that no paint color has an LRV of 100 or 0.

The highest LRV you’ll find in consumer paint is around 92 (see: Chantilly Lace, High Reflective White, and All White); the lowest averages out around 4 (see: Tricorn Black, Black, and Pitch Black).

Mizzle with an island painted Farrow & Ball Down Pipe; design by Nadia Watts

For any super nerds out there (my hand is raised), scientists at Purdue recently developed a white paint that reflects 98 percent of light; you can read about that here.

But heed this, friends: high LRV does not necessarily equal WHITER paint.

Warm, creamy paint colors can have HIGH light reflectance values. (See: Cheviot; Wimborne White.)

Farrow & Ball Mizzle LRV

The LRV of Farrow & Ball Mizzle is 53.

That means Mizzle is a medium-light paint color and reflects 53 percent of light. Here’s a comparison of Mizzle with four other popular Farrow & Ball green paint colors:

If you test a sample of Mizzle and it feels too DARK, try Farrow & Ball Cromarty or Eddy.

If you find Mizzle too LIGHT, consider Farrow & Ball Blue Gray or Pigeon.

Farrow & Ball Mizzle Matches and Dupes

Before we dive into dupes, bear in mind that rarely do we unearth exact matches for Farrow & Ball colors from more accessible brands, such as Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore.farrow ball mizzle kitchen

In fact, several popular Farrow & Ball colors are notoriously singular (ahem, Card Room Green).

So if you love Farrow & Ball Mizzle, and can afford to splurge, I encourage you to purchase the real thing.

Sherwin-Williams, PPG, Behr, and Benjamin Moore offer colors similar to Mizzle, but they aren’t perfect equivalents.

But if you’d rather save money, read on for the closest dupes, matches, and alternatives to Farrow & Ball Mizzle. Save this image to Pinterest so you remember this post when you’re heading to the paint store:

Farrow & Ball Mizzle Matched to Sherwin-Williams

We’ll start with Sherwin-Williams because it makes the closest match to Mizzle.

Sherwin-Williams Austere Gray (LRV 51), a pale green-gray paint color with blue undertones, is the closest dupe to Mizzle. It’s just a tiny bit darker.farrow ball mizzle dupe

Sherwin-Williams Contented (LRV 52) is also a close match to Mizzle. Contented is more saturated—meaning, it has less gray than Mizzle—and, like Austere Gray, it’s a little bit darker.

Farrow & Ball Mizzle Matched to PPG

Available at Home Depot, PPG paints are typically more affordable than Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore.

The PPG paint color Balsam (LRV 53) is similar to Farrow & Ball Mizzle, sharing the same light reflectance value. However, Balsam is noticeably bluer than Mizzle, and a touch more saturated.

(For my European readers, PPG is sold in France, Germany, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, and other European countries under various brands including Alcro, Beckers, Bondex, Boonstoppel Verf, and Brander.)

Farrow & Ball Mizzle Matched to Behr

After Sherwin-Williams and PPG, the next closest match to Mizzle is Behr Biking Trail (LRV 53).

Like PPG Balsam, Behr Biking Trail has the same LRV as Mizzle.

Here’s a TikTok of a nursery painted Biking Trail—you can certainly see the similarities to Mizzle.farrow ball mizzle match

Farrow & Ball Mizzle Matched to Benjamin Moore

The closest Benjamin Moore matches to Farrow & Ball Mizzle are Horizon Gray, Sagebrush, and Vale Mist.

Benjamin Moore Horizon Gray (LRV 50) is a little DARKER and warmer (less green) than Mizzle.

Below, Horizon Gray looks lovely on these home office built-ins. The Clark flush mount is by Visual Comfort:

Benjamin Moore Sagebrush (LRV 55) is Mizzle’s lighter, mintier-green cousin.

Benjamin Moore Vale Mist (LRV 56) is noticeably lighter than Mizzle and less blue-gray (i.e., more yellow).

Sandwiched between Benjamin Moore Morning Dew and October Mist, Vale Mist helps make up a popular paint strip.

Here’s Benjamin Moore Vale Mist on kitchen cabinets:

Can You Color Match Farrow & Ball Paint?

Yes and no. farrow ball mizzle match, farrow ball mizzle kitchen

Here’s why: Standard paint companies typically use between 3 to 6 pigments in their paint formulations, depending on the type of color and its intended use. Pigments provide opacity, coverage, and hue.

Premium brands like Farrow & Ball, on the other hand, use 12 pigments, focusing on adding more intensity and complexity to their colors. The higher pigment count affects the paint’s depth, light absorption, and finish.

So, while Farrow & Ball stands out for its high number of pigments — and proportionally higher price tag — brands such as Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, Behr, and PPG focus on ease of application, performance, and a more palatable price point.

That said, just like you can knock off an Eames chair, you can knock off a paint color, even if purists shudder at the thought.

I’ve had wildly variable success with color matching. So much depends on the person using the spectrophotometer, the paint brand, and the color itself.

That’s why I think you’re better off selecting a close dupe, such as this Sherwin-Williams color, than attempting color matching.

But if you want to color-match Mizzle, order a peel-and-stick sample, bring it to the paint store, and ask them to match it.

Purchase a quart of your color match, and paint a swatch at home. Then compare it to the peel-and-stick sample of Mizzle.

I always recommend testing a quart sample before buying gallons of your match and being unpleasantly surprised. farrow ball mizzle match

In Conclusion, Dear Reader

(a) Farrow & Ball Mizzle is a beautiful, light-to-medium green-gray paint color with blue undertones

(b) Mizzle is highly versatile; consider using it on cabinetry, walls, trim, vanities, doors, or shutters

(c) while Mizzle has close matches from other paint brands, such as Sherwin-Williams, Behr, PPG, and Benjamin Moore, no one makes an exact dupefarrow ball mizzle kitchen

(d) promise me you’ll sample colors before you commit.
