Muddy Mississippi

3004-9A

Muddy Mississippi is a dark warm brown with a strong clay undertone. Plan contrast early. The shade can suit a den, dining room, or exterior shutter when depth matters.

At LRV 13, it needs light trim and lamps on nearby walls. Cream plaster works better than stark white if warmth is the goal. Orange floors need careful sampling unless the room has strong contrast elsewhere.

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.
