The difference

Read from the numbers

Tranquility is the lighter of the two at LRV 53.31, 37.9 points above Georgian Brick at LRV 15.46. Tranquility leans cool where Georgian Brick reads warm. Tranquility is a blue, Georgian Brick a orange. For a whole room, Tranquility is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Georgian Brick is the bolder pick.

How they read

In their own words

Tranquility is a pale grey from Benjamin Moore's Affinity collection with a soft green-blue whisper — the color of sea fog rather than a city sky. At LRV 53 it is a true light-mid tone, and it does exactly what its name suggests: it calms a room without making it cold.

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.
