About this color

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.

DET685 Mission Gold is a deep, saturated tan (LRV ≈ 29). In Arizona, a deep warm 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.

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.
