About this color

Recommended surfaces
  • — Exterior trim and fascia, set darker than the body
  • — Front doors, shutters, iron gates
  • — Accent walls in well-lit interior rooms
  • — Cabinet contrast

Sheen: Matte or eggshell on interior walls; flat on exterior stucco. Soft gloss or semi-gloss on doors, shutters and trim.

DE6378 Jet is a near-black (LRV ≈ 9). In Arizona desert architecture, very dark colors go on the trim, and on accents such as front doors, shutters and iron gates. Desert-aesthetic HOAs typically want trim and fascia set darker than the body, and white trim is uncommon here. At LRV 9 it sits inside all three municipal overlay caps: Scottsdale ESL (35), Paradise Valley Hillside (38) and Scottsdale Foothills (40). As a full body on a west wall, a color this dark runs hot, so speak with us about the elevation first. For trim and accents we use Aura Exterior or Regal Select in soft gloss.

The Benjamin Moore line we would use

Benjamin Moore HP, for iron and metal

Wrought iron, gates and railings take a coating made for metal, not house paint. We start with Command, a one-part urethane in satin or gloss, tinted to the color; bare steel gets a rust-inhibiting primer first. Trim and doors in the same color take Regal Select Exterior in soft gloss. Bring the Benjamin Moore code from any of the five swatches above and we’ll mix that exact color at the counter.
