Dunn‑Edwards color · mixed in Benjamin Moore

Verdigris Green DEFD36

Benjamin Moore already has the formula for Verdigris Green, 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.

About this color

  • Deep
  • Saturated
  • Green family
Recommended surfaces
  • — Front doors and exterior accents (seldom approved as an HOA body color)
  • — Accent walls
  • — Cabinet uppers or lowers

Sheen: Matte or eggshell on interior walls. At this depth, eggshell takes scuffs and touch-ups better than matte. Flat on exterior stucco; soft gloss on doors and shutters.

DEFD36 Verdigris Green is a deep, saturated green (LRV ≈ 12). In Arizona, a deep cool color this strong is an accent: a front door or shutters. As a body color it seldom passes an HOA committee or an overlay design review. For a sun-exposed door or shutter we use Aura Exterior or Regal Select Exterior in soft gloss.

Verdigris Green (DEFD36) is in the Dunn-Edwards catalog but isn’t a body, trim or accent color in any Arizona HOA palette we track.

The Benjamin Moore line we would use

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 choose 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.
