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.
Poe is a Roman Clay colour from Portola Paints, which describes it as a "deep plum". Portola says it was originally named Black Magic and was inspired by the writing of Edgar Allan Poe.
