The difference
Read from the numbersGeorgian Brick is the lighter of the two at LRV 15.46, 8.5 points above Viridian Odyssey at LRV 7. Viridian Odyssey leans cool where Georgian Brick reads warm. Viridian Odyssey is a blue, Georgian Brick a orange. For a whole room, Georgian Brick is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Viridian Odyssey is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsViridian Odyssey is a deep teal that reads almost black until light touches it, and then it reveals an inky blue-green with real depth. At LRV 7 it is one of the darkest colors in the library — a genuine envelope color for panelling, cabinetry and rooms meant to feel like the inside of a jewel box.
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.
