SW2807 Rookwood Medium Brown is a deep, muted brown (LRV ≈ 10). Deep, low-chroma bodies are common in Arizona desert palettes: terracotta-leaning browns, deep taupes and warm charcoals. At LRV 10 it sits inside all three municipal overlay caps: Scottsdale ESL (35), Paradise Valley Hillside (38) and Scottsdale Foothills (40). Element Guard handles the heat load on a body application; for a front door, Aura Exterior or Regal Select soft gloss.

Which Benjamin Moore line?
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. Swatches marked interior only, or not recommended for exterior, are for indoor work.
