Mudslide
What Mudslide Actually Looks Like
Mudslide reads as a muted, mid-depth clay brown on the wall. It sits somewhere between dusty rose and warm tan, with enough brown weight to keep it grounded rather than flushed or pink. It is not a bright color and not a dark one either, landing in that middle range where it holds presence without overwhelming a room. In strong natural light it leans warmer and the clay tones come forward. In lower or cooler light it can shift toward a more muted, almost grayish rose-brown.
Mudslide Undertones
The dominant undertone here is warm clay with a clear pink lean. There is enough red-orange in the base to push it away from beige neutrals, and enough brown to prevent it from reading as a blush or pink paint. If your room has cool-toned furnishings or blue-gray floors, that pink quality will become more noticeable. Warm wood tones and earthy textiles tend to pull out the clay and settle the color into a more cohesive, earthy read.
Where Mudslide Works Best
Mudslide works well as an accent wall color, in a dining room where warmth and depth are welcome, or in a bedroom where you want an enveloping, earthy tone without going full dark brown. It can also hold its own in an entryway or powder room where a color gets to do real work in a smaller space. It is a harder fit for rooms that rely heavily on cool grays or crisp whites, where the pink-clay tension is more likely to feel off.
Where to put Mudslide
The mid-depth warmth of Mudslide gives a dining room an intimate, cocooning quality that works especially well by candlelight or warm incandescent bulbs. Keep the trim a warm off-white rather than a bright white so the clay tone does not fight its surroundings.
On all four walls in a bedroom, Mudslide creates a calm, earthy envelope. Pair it with linen bedding, warm wood furniture, and brass or bronze fixtures to let the clay tones settle rather than pull pink.
Small spaces with little natural light are where Mudslide earns its keep. The limited square footage means the depth works in your favor, and guests get a full hit of warmth without the color needing to carry an entire floor.
If a full commitment feels like too much, a single accent wall behind a sofa or fireplace lets you test the color's warmth. Ground it with a natural jute rug and warm-toned upholstery so the pink undertone stays secondary.
What to Pair With Mudslide
No coordinating colors are specified in our database for Mudslide 2095-40. In general, it pairs well with warm off-whites for trim, deep olive or forest greens as accents, natural wood tones, aged brass or copper hardware, and textiles in rust, camel, or ochre.

Common questions
Mudslide has an LRV of 25.3, which puts it in the mid-dark range. It will absorb a fair amount of light, so in smaller or lower-light rooms it will feel noticeably deeper than it looks on a paint chip. Always sample it on the actual wall and view it at different times of day before committing.
It is genuinely both, which is the nature of clay tones. In warm light and with warm surroundings it reads more as a dusty clay brown. In cooler light or next to cool neutrals, the pink quality surfaces. The balance you see will depend heavily on your room's light source and the colors around it.
An eggshell finish is a practical choice for most walls. It gives a slight sheen that helps the warmth of the color come forward without the high reflectivity of a satin, and it is easier to clean than a flat finish.
Yes, though it will behave differently than in a dim room. Strong natural light, especially warm south or west exposure, will bring the clay and orange tones forward and the color will feel livelier. North light will cool it and push the muted, grayish-pink quality to the front.
