DE6335 Novelty Navy is a deep cool charcoal (LRV ≈ 10). Deep, muted body colors are common in Arizona desert palettes. At LRV 10 it is under all three LRV caps, but outside the color rules of the Scottsdale ESL, Paradise Valley Hillside and Scottsdale Foothills overlays. Element Guard handles the heat load on a body; for a front door, Aura Exterior or Regal Select in soft gloss.

The Benjamin Moore line we would use

Aura Exterior or Regal Select Exterior, in soft gloss

Front doors and shutters take the most direct sun and the most handling, and soft gloss is the finish we put on them. A deep or saturated color is what fades first, so on a door that faces west or south we choose Aura Exterior, which locks the color into the film. On a shaded entry, Regal Select Exterior holds it well. Bring the Benjamin Moore code from any of the five swatches above and we’ll mix that exact color at the counter.
