Mississippi Mud

2114-20

Mississippi Mud (2114-20) is a deep brown with a distinctive violet undertone that shifts it away from standard chocolate or umber browns. With an LRV of 7.41, it is a very dark color that absorbs significant light and creates strong visual weight on walls or cabinetry. The purple cast is subtle but becomes apparent when placed next to warmer, yellow-based browns.

It also carries slight red undertones beneath the violet. White Dove OC-17 provides clean contrast as trim, Smoke 2122-40 bridges the gap as a mid-tone gray, Steam AF-15 offers a warm off-white pairing, and Wish AF-680 introduces a muted lavender echo of the violet undertone.
