SW7578 Borscht is a very-dark, saturated red (LRV ≈ 6). Very dark colors are the Arizona desert-architecture trim and accent default: desert-aesthetic HOAs typically want trim and fascia set darker than the body, and white trim is uncommon here. They suit front doors, shutters and iron gates. At LRV 6 it sits inside all three municipal overlay caps: Scottsdale ESL (35), Paradise Valley Hillside (38) and Scottsdale Foothills (40). As a full body on a west wall they run hot, so talk to us about the elevation first; for trim and accents we use Aura Exterior or Regal Select soft gloss.

Which Benjamin Moore line?
Regal Select Exterior, in soft gloss
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. Swatches marked interior only, or not recommended for exterior, are for indoor work.
