What color is Benjamin Moore Georgian Brick?
Benjamin Moore Georgian Brick HC-50 is a muted brick red with a noticeable brown cast, giving it an earthy, settled look rather than a bright red finish. Its medium-dark depth makes it especially effective on dining room walls, a powder room, or painted built-ins where a stronger color can hold its own. In warm daylight, Georgian Brick reads warmer and more terracotta-like, while lower or cooler light can bring out its deeper, browned-red side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, cognac leather, and natural wood for a grounded interior palette. On an exterior, this shade suits a front door or shutter color when set against pale stone, warm white siding, or red-brown brick.

LRV of Georgian Brick
Georgian Brick has an LRV of 15.46% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 15.46%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
