Flan vs Mizzle
Where Flan belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Mizzle is a Farrow & Ball color. Flan reads as beige, while Mizzle reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Flan (LRV 61) reflects noticeably more light than Mizzle (LRV 52), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 13.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Flan vs Mizzle in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Flan and Mizzle in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
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 Flan will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Mizzle would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Flan reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Mizzle.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Flan reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Mizzle.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Flan returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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.
