The difference

Read from the numbers

Both read warm. Georgian Brick is a orange, Dead Salmon a pink.

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.

Dead Salmon takes its name from an eighteenth-century decorating bill at Kedleston Hall, where 'dead' meant matte rather than deceased. The color is a muddy pink-beige — salmon left in the sun until only the memory of pink remains. At LRV 35 it is a real mid-tone with unusual depth for a neutral.
