Paved Path vs Mizzle
Where Paved Path belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Mizzle is a Farrow & Ball color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Mizzle (LRV 52) reflects noticeably more light than Paved Path (LRV 25), a difference of 27 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 22.0, 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.
Paved Path vs Mizzle in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Paved Path 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 Mizzle will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Paved Path 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. Mizzle reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Paved Path.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Mizzle reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Paved Path.
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. Mizzle returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
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. Mizzle reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Paved Path.

Digital color is approximate.
