Dunn‑Edwards color · mixed in Benjamin Moore

Shaker Gray DE6231

Benjamin Moore already has the formula for Shaker Gray, 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. Shaker Gray is currently approved in 91 Arizona HOA schemes we track.

About this color

Recommended surfaces
  • — Exterior body (muted colors this deep are common in desert HOA palettes) — within all of 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.

DE6231 Shaker Gray is a deep, muted brown (LRV ≈ 13). Deep, low-chroma bodies are common in Arizona desert palettes: terracotta-leaning browns, deep taupes and warm charcoals. At LRV 13 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.
