Dunn‑Edwards color · mixed in Benjamin Moore
Benjamin Moore already has the formula for Gustavian Gray, 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. Gustavian Gray is currently approved in 2 Arizona HOA schemes we track.
About this color
Sheen: Matte or eggshell on walls; satin holds up better on garage doors and high-touch trim. Flat on exterior stucco.
DEGR76 Gustavian Gray is a mid-tone cool gray (LRV ≈ 31). 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 31 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?
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.
