Dunn‑Edwards color · mixed in Benjamin Moore

Crossroads DE5359

Benjamin Moore already has the formula for Crossroads, 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. Crossroads is currently approved in 1 Arizona HOA scheme we track.

About this color

  • Light
  • Saturated
  • Tan / beige
Recommended surfaces
  • — Interior walls and ceilings
  • — Interior cabinet bodies
  • — Interior trim on deeper-toned walls
  • — Exterior body where no city limit applies (too light for the Scottsdale and Paradise Valley limits)

Sheen: Matte or eggshell on walls; satin on trim, semi-gloss on doors. Higher sheens on walls amplify stucco texture and roller marks. Flat on exterior stucco.

DE5359 Crossroads is a light, saturated tan (LRV ≈ 62). Light colors reflect heat well and read clean on stucco. Outside the overlay zones and HOAs, they are strong choices for an Arizona home. Inside Scottsdale's ESL or Foothills Overlay or Paradise Valley's Hillside District, this LRV is above the body cap (35% in ESL, 38% in PV Hillside, 40% in Foothills), and many desert-aesthetic HOAs set their own limit. Check your community before choosing it for an exterior body.

The Benjamin Moore line we would use

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. On a door that takes full afternoon sun, we choose Aura Exterior. Regal Select Exterior holds a color like this well on a shaded entry. Bring the Benjamin Moore code from any of the five swatches above and we’ll mix that exact color at the counter.
