About this color

  • Deep
  • Muted
  • Blue family
Recommended surfaces
  • — Exterior body (muted colors this deep are common in desert HOA palettes) — too strong a color for the Scottsdale and Paradise Valley limits
  • — Exterior trim and fascia, set darker than the body
  • — Front doors and shutters
  • — 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.

DE5928 Blue Intrigue is a deep, muted blue (LRV ≈ 21). Deep, low-chroma bodies are common in Arizona desert palettes: terracotta-leaning browns, deep taupes and warm charcoals. Its LRV is under the overlay caps, but it is too saturated for the color rules in the Scottsdale ESL, Paradise Valley Hillside and Scottsdale Foothills overlays. Element Guard handles the heat load on a body application; for a front door, Aura Exterior or Regal Select soft gloss.

Blue Intrigue (DE5928) 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?

Element Guard or Regal Select Exterior, in flat

On a stucco body we use flat, because sheen on a sunlit wall reads as glare. Element Guard is the one for a summer repaint: it forms a sound film in the heat and is rain-ready in about an hour. The rest of the year, Regal Select Exterior is our standard repaint. 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.

Pick the Benjamin Moore that fits your job.

Bring the Dunn-Edwards code, your HOA scheme number or a Benjamin Moore code from the swatches above, and we’ll match the line to the job.
