Reading
LRV is how much light a color reflects, from 0 for black to 100 for pure white.
At LRV 45 it returns about half the light that falls on it. That is enough to show its color across a full wall without darkening the room, which is why most whole-room interiors fall in this range.
Aura Interior and Regal Select Interior cover the interior work. Outside, it still reflects plenty of heat, but it is lighter than parts of Scottsdale and Paradise Valley allow, so check your lot and your HOA before it goes on the stucco.
It does not wash out in bright Arizona light. Use it for a whole room, a cabinet body, or interior trim against deeper walls.
Matte or eggshell on walls; satin holds up better on garage doors and high-touch trim. Flat on exterior stucco.

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 Sea Haze 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?
A wall this light doesn’t build much heat, so the choice comes down to how long the finish lasts and how well it stays clean. Element Guard for a summer repaint; Aura Exterior when it has to last longest.
Can you match it in another brand?
We tint Benjamin Moore. 2137-50 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.
