Sherwin‑Williams color · mixed in Benjamin Moore
We keep the Sherwin-Williams formula for Mellow Mauve on file, so we mix the exact color in Benjamin Moore 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.
About this color
Sheen: Matte or eggshell on walls; satin holds up better on garage doors and high-touch trim. Flat on exterior stucco.
SW0039 Mellow Mauve is a mid-tone, saturated tan (LRV ≈ 35). 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 35 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?
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.
Bring the Sherwin-Williams code or a Benjamin Moore code from the swatches above, and we’ll match the line to the job.
