Reading

LRV is how much light a color reflects, from 0 for black to 100 for pure white.

At LRV 25 it absorbs roughly three-quarters of the light that falls on it, which is where a wall facing the afternoon sun starts to get hot.

Aura Exterior and Element Guard hold their color in our sun at this depth. The wall that takes the afternoon sun is where fading shows first.

It works across a whole room with good south-facing windows, and as a single wall, a cabinet body or an accent anywhere else.

Matte or eggshell on interior walls. At this depth, eggshell takes scuffs and touch-ups better than matte. Flat on exterior stucco; soft gloss on doors and shutters.

Questions

  • Will it look like this on my wall?

    Not exactly. Screens vary, and paint shifts with the light in the room. Before you commit, put a sample on the wall for a full day. See it in morning light, afternoon light and lamplight before the gallons are tinted.

  • Is it approved for my HOA?

    It depends on your community. Search your HOA to see its approved palette, then bring the scheme in and we will tell you how Badlands compares. Committees approve the color. The brand on the can is not part of the approval, so Benjamin Moore is fine as long as the color matches the approved sheet.

  • Which line for a west-facing exterior?

    Aura Exterior or Element Guard. At this depth the wall gets hot enough that the quality of the paint decides how long the color holds.

  • Can you match it in another brand?

    We tint Benjamin Moore. 1293 is a Benjamin Moore formula, so nothing is approximated; it is mixed exactly as published. If you have a Dunn‑Edwards code, Benjamin Moore already has that formula too. For a chip or a lid with no code, bring it in. We will read it and tell you how close we can get.
