About this color

Recommended surfaces
  • — Exterior body — within the Paradise Valley hillside and Scottsdale Foothills limits, not Scottsdale’s Environmentally Sensitive Lands
  • — Garage doors and exterior accents
  • — Feature and accent walls
  • — Cabinet bodies

Sheen: Matte or eggshell on walls; satin holds up better on garage doors and high-touch trim. Flat on exterior stucco.

DE6166 Flickering Gold is a mid-tone, saturated yellow (LRV ≈ 38). Mid-tones are where most Arizona HOA bodies land, and where beige, tan, taupe and warm-gray exteriors blend with the Sonoran landscape. At LRV 38 it fits the Paradise Valley Hillside (38) and Scottsdale Foothills (40) limits, but not Scottsdale ESL (35). Mid-tones run slightly warmer in west sun than lighter bodies, so we use Element Guard or Regal Select for any south or west elevation.

Flickering Gold (DE6166) 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.
