The difference
Read from the numbersGeorgian Brick is the lighter of the two at LRV 15.46, 8.1 points above Mississippi Mud at LRV 7.41. Both read warm. Mississippi Mud is a brown, Georgian Brick a orange. For a whole room, Georgian Brick is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Mississippi Mud is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsMississippi Mud is a deep, dark brown that Benjamin Moore says carries 'distinctive violet tones' — and it does: beside a plain chocolate brown it looks faintly plummy. With an LRV near 7 it is one of the darkest browns in the range.
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.
