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.

DEA157 Cellar Door is a deep, saturated brown (LRV ≈ 10). Deep, low-chroma bodies are common in Arizona desert palettes: terracotta-leaning browns, deep taupes and warm charcoals. At LRV 10 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?

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 reach for 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.
