DE6119 Neutral Valley is a deep, saturated brown (LRV ≈ 15). Deep, low-chroma bodies are common in Arizona desert palettes: terracotta-leaning browns, deep taupes and warm charcoals. At LRV 15 it sits inside all three municipal overlay caps: Scottsdale ESL (35), Paradise Valley Hillside (38) and Scottsdale Foothills (40). Element Guard handles the heat load on a body application; for a front door, Aura Exterior or Regal Select soft gloss.

Which Benjamin Moore line?
Regal Select Exterior, in soft gloss
Soft gloss holds a clean edge on trim, fascia and doors, and resists chalking in our sun. Arizona schemes set the trim darker than the body; where a dark trim color takes full afternoon sun, Aura Exterior holds it longest. Bring the Benjamin Moore code from any of the five swatches above and we’ll mix that exact color at the counter.
