DEBN57 Pigeonhole is a mid-tone, muted tan (LRV ≈ 33). Mid-tones are where most Arizona HOA bodies land, and where beige, tan, taupe and warm-gray exteriors blend with the Sonoran landscape. At LRV 33 it sits inside all three municipal overlay caps: Scottsdale ESL (35), Paradise Valley Hillside (38) and Scottsdale Foothills (40). Mid-tones run slightly warmer in west sun than lighter bodies, so we use Element Guard or Regal Select for any south or west elevation.

Which Benjamin Moore line?
Regal Select Exterior or Aura 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. Regal Select Exterior holds a color like this well; Aura Exterior is worth it on a door that takes full afternoon sun. Bring the Benjamin Moore code from any of the five swatches above and we’ll mix that exact color at the counter.
