Behr paint doesn't have the cachet of Benjamin Moore, Farrow & Ball, or other decorator's paints, but in our experience it's a good budget brand that consistently receives high marks from Consumer Reports.

You certainly get what you pay for - I will never use cheap Behr Paints again. It's The only paint I've ever used that rolled on with one pass - then any subsequent passes came right off a very well prepped wall back onto the roller. (We are talking 1 min or less after first application to the wall.) Sherwin Williams Cashmere is excellent, but my favorite, Pittsburg Paint - Manor Hall is superb. Well worth the extra cost for ease of paint, durability and color depth. As for the Consumer Reports favorable review - I do not know how it is possible. They must have taken cost into the weighted consideration to garner such a positive review. mattrix on Mar 1, 2010
