Flaxseed DEC736
Benjamin Moore already has the formula for Flaxseed, so we mix the exact color at our North Scottsdale counter, in the line the surface needs. Same color, better paint. If you’d rather choose one of Benjamin Moore’s own colors, the five closest are below. Flaxseed is currently approved in 4 Arizona HOA schemes we track.
About this color

- — Interior walls

Sheen: Matte or eggshell on walls; satin on trim, semi-gloss on doors. Higher sheens on walls amplify stucco texture and roller marks. Flat on exterior stucco.
DEC736 Flaxseed is a very-light, muted yellow (LRV ≈ 74). Very light colors reflect the most heat, a real summer advantage on an Arizona exterior that no overlay or HOA rule limits. They are above all three Maricopa County municipal caps (Scottsdale ESL Overlay 35%, Paradise Valley Hillside 38%, Scottsdale Foothills Overlay 40%), and desert-aesthetic HOAs often ask for deeper bodies too. Inside the overlays or in those HOAs, use it on ceilings, cabinets and interior walls.

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.
