The difference

Read from the numbers

Georgian Brick is the lighter of the two at LRV 15.46, 5.5 points above Cherry Cola at LRV 10. Both read warm. Georgian Brick is a orange, Cherry Cola a red. For a whole room, Georgian Brick is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Cherry Cola is the bolder pick.

How they read

In their own words

Georgian Brick is a Historical Colors red-orange that Benjamin Moore describes as 'a rustic blend of red and orange'. It is the colour of weathered brick — warm, a little dusty, and far more livable than a true red.

Cherry Cola is a deep reddish brown from Dunn-Edwards' Perfect Palette accents — the color of the drink held up to the light, with burnt sienna underneath. At LRV 10 it is dark, saturated and enormously flattering to books, brass and patterned fabric.
