About Merlex Stucco Standard Color Pack – Desert Beige

This color pack was made with desert tones in mind—subtle yet strong. The Desert Beige shade sits right between a classic tan and sandy beige, giving buildings a naturally weathered appearance that works well in arid and sunny climates. Each pack contains a precise amount of pigment designed to blend with a single 90-pound sack of Merlex stucco base.

Unlike custom color-matching on job sites, these pre-measured packs help contractors avoid uneven color application or guesswork. The pigment is manufactured under strict controls, giving users the same result every time. That’s especially helpful on large-scale builds or touch-up projects where consistency matters.

Desert Beige fits well into a variety of architectural styles—think Mediterranean, Spanish, or ranch. It’s a color that complements tile roofs, ironwork, and drought-tolerant landscaping, adding depth without drawing too much attention.

Can this color pack be used on interior walls?

It’s made specifically for exterior stucco. For interior applications, consult Merlex or use approved interior finishes.

What’s the difference between Desert Beige and Oat Grain?

Desert Beige leans warmer with more sandy undertones, while Oat Grain is a softer, cooler beige.

Does the pigment stain tools or mixers?

Not permanently. Tools can be cleaned with water immediately after use, and the pigment doesn’t leave lasting stains.

Can I adjust the tone by using half a pack?

It’s not recommended. Using less than a full pack may lead to inconsistent results and visible color changes.

What if I lose count of how many packs I’ve added?

Always measure and label your batches during mixing. It’s best to keep a mixing log during large projects to avoid errors.
