About this color

Recommended surfaces
  • — Exterior trim and fascia, set darker than the body
  • — Front doors, shutters, iron gates
  • — Accent walls in well-lit interior rooms
  • — Cabinet contrast

Sheen: Matte or eggshell on interior walls; flat on exterior stucco. Soft gloss or semi-gloss on doors, shutters and trim.

DET680 Espresso Macchiato is a warm near-black (LRV ≈ 7). In Arizona desert architecture, very dark colors go on the trim, and on accents such as front doors, shutters and iron gates. Desert-aesthetic HOAs typically want trim and fascia set darker than the body, and white trim is uncommon here. At LRV 7 it sits inside all three municipal overlay caps: Scottsdale ESL (35), Paradise Valley Hillside (38) and Scottsdale Foothills (40). As a full body on a west wall, a color this dark runs hot, so speak with us about the elevation first. For trim and accents we use Aura Exterior or Regal Select in soft gloss.

The Benjamin Moore line we would use

Regal Select Exterior, in soft gloss

Soft gloss holds a clean edge on trim, fascia and doors, and resists chalking in our sun. Arizona schemes set the trim darker than the body; where a dark trim color takes full afternoon sun, Aura Exterior holds it longest. Bring the Benjamin Moore code from any of the five swatches above and we’ll mix that exact color at the counter.
