About this color

Recommended surfaces

— Exterior body — within all of the Scottsdale and Paradise Valley limits, and the Arizona HOA sweet spot
— Garage doors and exterior accents
— Feature and accent walls
— Cabinet bodies

Sheen: Matte or eggshell on walls; satin holds up better on garage doors and high-touch trim. Flat on exterior stucco.

DEBN70 Squirrel's Tail is a mid-tone, muted greige (LRV ≈ 30). 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 30 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, 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.
