What color is Benjamin Moore Mississippi Mud?
Benjamin Moore Mississippi Mud 2114-20 is a deep, muted brown with a charcoal cast and subtle warm red undertones. Its low-saturation finish keeps it from reading overly rustic, giving the color a grounded, almost smoky appearance on walls. In bright natural light, the brown undertone becomes more noticeable, while evening light can pull it closer to a dark gray-brown. Use Mississippi Mud for a dining room, den, exterior trim, or built-in cabinetry when you want substantial contrast without using black. It pairs especially well with warm off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, stone, and soft clay-colored textiles.

LRV of Mississippi Mud
Mississippi Mud has an LRV of 7.41% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 7.41%, 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.
