Celebrate summer in color with AURA® Exterior Paint. AURA® uses Color Lock® technology to seal your favorite one-of-a-kind Benjamin Moore® paint colors, so your outdoor projects can maintain their freshly painted look even through the dog days of summer. AURA® exterior paint has been engineered for superior outdoor performance, resisting fading and tackiness for a smooth, effortless look.

It comes in a flat, low luster, satin, and soft gloss finish, making it the ideal paint for a whole-home project or a few new front door details.

It can be applied just 60 minutes after rainfall and can be recoated in four hours. Mildewcide resists molds and mildews even in the wettest climates with its special 100% acrylic resin formula.
