Dunn‑Edwards color · mixed in Benjamin Moore
Mythical Blue DEC787
Benjamin Moore already has the formula for Mythical Blue, 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. Mythical Blue is currently approved in 2 Arizona HOA schemes we track.
About this color
- Mid-tone
- Muted
- Teal family
- Recommended surfaces
- — Exterior body — too strong a color for the Scottsdale and Paradise Valley limits
- — 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.
DEC787 Mythical Blue is a mid-tone, muted teal (LRV ≈ 35). Mid-tones are where most Arizona HOA bodies land, and where beige, tan, taupe and warm-gray exteriors blend with the Sonoran landscape. 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. 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.
