About this color

Recommended surfaces
  • — Front doors and exterior accents (a hard sell as an HOA body color)
  • — 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.

DEA166 Tavern Creek is a deep, saturated tan (LRV ≈ 17). Saturated, deep warm colors are accent territory in Arizona — good on a front door or shutters, harder to get past an HOA committee or overlay design review as a body color. For a sun-exposed door or shutter we use Aura Exterior or Regal Select Exterior in 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.
