DEA182 Encore Teal is a very-dark, muted blue (LRV ≈ 7). Very dark colors are the Arizona desert-architecture trim and accent default: desert-aesthetic HOAs typically want trim and fascia set darker than the body, and white trim is uncommon here. They suit front doors, shutters and iron gates. Its LRV is under the overlay caps, but it is too saturated for the color rules in the Scottsdale ESL, Paradise Valley Hillside and Scottsdale Foothills overlays. As a full body on a west wall they run hot, so talk to us about the elevation first; for trim and accents we use 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.
