More Water Please DEFD55
Benjamin Moore already has the formula for More Water Please, 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.

DEFD55 More Water Please is a mid-tone, muted blue (LRV ≈ 40). Most Arizona HOA body colors are mid-tones, and a mid-tone body blends with the Sonoran landscape. At LRV 40 it is above the Scottsdale ESL (35) and Paradise Valley Hillside (38) caps, and outside the color rules of 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.
More Water Please (DEFD55) 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
Element Guard or Regal Select Exterior, in flat
On a stucco body we use flat, because sheen on a sunlit wall reads as glare. Element Guard is the one for a summer repaint: it forms a sound film in the heat and is rain-ready in about an hour. The rest of the year, Regal Select Exterior is our standard repaint. Bring the Benjamin Moore code from any of the five swatches above and we’ll mix that exact color at the counter.
