Recommended surfaces
  • — Exterior body (muted colors this deep are common in desert HOA palettes): outside the Scottsdale and Paradise Valley limits
  • — Exterior trim and fascia, set darker than the body
  • — Front doors and shutters

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.

SW6243 Distance is a deep, muted blue (LRV ≈ 15). Deep, muted body colors are common in Arizona desert palettes. At LRV 15 it is under all three LRV caps, but outside the color rules of the Scottsdale ESL, Paradise Valley Hillside and Scottsdale Foothills overlays. Element Guard handles the heat load on a body; for a front door, Aura Exterior or Regal Select 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. Swatches marked interior only, or not recommended for exterior, are for indoor work.
