The difference
Read from the numbersFoxy Brown is the lighter of the two at LRV 31.32, 15.9 points above Georgian Brick at LRV 15.46. Both read warm. Both belong to the orange family. For a whole room, Foxy Brown is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Georgian Brick is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsGeorgian 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.
Foxy Brown is Benjamin Moore 1181, a mid-depth clay that the brand describes as "a soft clay hue that strikes a balance between red and brown." Benjamin Moore lists it with an LRV of 31.32, so it holds real depth on a wall without going dark, and in daylight it reads closer to terracotta than to chocolate.
