Dunn‑Edwards color · mixed in Benjamin Moore
Redwood City DE5117
Benjamin Moore already has the formula for Redwood City, so we mix the exact color at our North Scottsdale counter, in the line the surface needs. Same color, better paint. If you’d rather choose one of Benjamin Moore’s own colors, the five closest are below.
About this color
- Deep
- Saturated
- Red family
- Recommended surfaces
- — Front doors and exterior accents (a hard sell as an HOA body color)
- — Accent walls
- — Cabinet uppers or lowers
Sheen: Matte or eggshell on interior walls — at this depth eggshell handles scuffs and touch-ups better than matte. Flat on exterior stucco; soft gloss on doors and shutters.
DE5117 Redwood City is a deep, saturated red (LRV ≈ 18). Saturated, deep warm colors are accent territory in Arizona — good on a front door or shutters, harder to get past an HOA committee or overlay design review as a body color. For a sun-exposed door or shutter we use Aura Exterior or Regal Select Exterior in soft gloss.
Redwood City (DE5117) is in the Dunn-Edwards catalog but isn’t a body, trim or accent color in any Arizona HOA palette we track.
Which Benjamin Moore line?
Aura Exterior or Regal Select Exterior, in soft gloss
Front doors and shutters take the most direct sun and the most handling, and soft gloss is the finish we put on them. A deep or saturated color is what fades first, so on a door that faces west or south we reach for Aura Exterior, which locks the color into the film. On a shaded entry, Regal Select Exterior holds it well. Bring the Benjamin Moore code from any of the five swatches above and we’ll mix that exact color at the counter. Swatches marked interior only, or not recommended for exterior, are for indoor work.
