Benjamin Moore

Mudslide

2095-40

Mudslide is a warm, earthy brown with a noticeable pink undertone that prevents it from reading as a simple tan or chocolate. With an LRV of 25.30, it sits in the lower-medium range of reflectance, absorbing more light than it bounces back and functioning as a grounding, substantial wall color. The red-pink base becomes more evident in warm lighting and less so in cooler conditions, where the brown reads more straightforwardly.

Benjamin Moore pairs it with White Dove (OC-17) for a soft trim contrast, Revere Pewter (HC-172) as a cool-gray bridge, Saybrook Sage (HC-114) for a muted green complement, and Smoke (2122-40) for blue-gray balance.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
