Deep Base PrimersThe latest trends in colour are more complex, "designer" colours, which tend to be very saturated and clean due to their higher chroma values. These popular colours are best revealed when tinted in a deep or clear base with a minimal amount of white pigment, which promotes hiding. Benjamin Moore offers several tintable deep base primers specifically made for use with more saturated or darker colours, which help reduce the number of coats necessary to achieve their full depth and richness. The Aura® product line offers a Foundation in a Red and Yellow base. The example to the right shows the advantages of using a deep base primer with a darker colour. In the panel at right, no primer is used. This leaves the gray stripe underneath visible when the topcoat is applied. In the panel at left, the deep base primer helps hide the gray stripe and makes the colour clean and rich. Deep Base Primers Deep Base Primers are available in the following products: Exteriors
