Reading
LRV is how much light a color reflects, from 0 for black to 100 for pure white.
At LRV 19 it absorbs most of the light that falls on it. It runs hot on any wall that takes afternoon sun.
Aura Exterior and Element Guard are our first choices at this depth on a wall in full sun, because a deep color is the first to fade. Regal Select Exterior is a sound choice where the wall is shaded.
In Arizona, deep colors belong on the trim and fascia, set darker than the body, and on front doors, shutters and iron. For a whole house, speak with us first about which walls take the afternoon sun.
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 Pine Grove 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 for a west wall in full sun. A color this deep runs hot and fades first, so it belongs in a line made to hold color in heat.
Can you match it in another brand?
We tint Benjamin Moore. 511 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.
