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.
Southwest Pottery 048 is a deep clay red from Benjamin Moore's Classics collection, described by the brand as "a nuanced hue that captures the brown and red tones of kiln-fired clay". Its LRV is 16.56, so it is a properly deep colour.
