Dunn‑Edwards color · mixed in Benjamin Moore
Benjamin Moore already has the formula for Swiss Coffee, 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. Swiss Coffee is currently approved in 76 Arizona HOA schemes we track.
About this color
Sheen: Matte or eggshell on walls; satin on trim, semi-gloss on doors. Higher sheens on walls amplify stucco texture and roller marks. Flat on exterior stucco.
DEW341 Swiss Coffee is a very-light warm white (LRV ≈ 83). Very light colors reflect the most heat, a real summer advantage on an Arizona exterior that no overlay or HOA rule limits. They are above all three Maricopa County municipal caps (Scottsdale ESL Overlay 35%, Paradise Valley Hillside 38%, Scottsdale Foothills Overlay 40%), and desert-aesthetic HOAs often ask for deeper bodies too. Inside the overlays or in those HOAs, use it on ceilings, cabinets and interior walls.
Which Benjamin Moore line?
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.
Bring the Dunn-Edwards code, your HOA scheme number or a Benjamin Moore code from the swatches above, and we’ll match the line to the job.
