DE6153 Pyramid is a deep, saturated tan (LRV ≈ 21). 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.

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.
