There are several breeds that have the columbian color that you see in light Sussex and light Brahma. I don't believe the Brahmas and Sussex are related. Brahmas were developed in Asia and are in the Asiatic class along with Cochins and Langshans. Sussex were developed in England so fall into the English class along with Orpintons, Cornish, Dorkings, and Redcaps.

Brahmas are believed to be a result of Cochins crossed with Jungle Fowl. Light Brahmas were admitted as a recognized breed of the American Poultry Association in 1874. Light Sussex were not admitted until 1924.
