The secret theme of this video is: “Tell me Benjamin Moore is the best paint company without telling me that Benjamin Moore is the best paint company... “ 😜

Benjamin Moore is without a doubt my favorite. BM has beautiful colors and the paint functions extremely well. It doesn't fade over the years the way some others do and it goes on the walls easily, no need for tons of coats. However it is a bit pricier than others so when trying to paint a big space sometimes I do Behr because its still a solidly good paint but much more affordable.

I am the Queen of Benjamin Moore and absolutely will not paint with anything else. The maturation of color and the quality of what they do is superior.

I own two Benjamin Moore color decks and I play with the swatches for hours before deciding on a room design. Love the way it goes on to walls. Preview colors are great! Benjamin Moore makes me happy!

Hi James, my family has a vacation home near the sea in Greece. It gets very humid and moist during the summer. Plus, we are only the once every year if we are lucky. I'm looking for the right gloss for the bathroom and bathroom ceiling? What's your recommendation? I'm having Aura bath and Spa shipped from Germany, since it's not available on Greek market. Coincidentally, Dulux is very widespread in Greece. AKZO NOBEL has a huge footprint. Are there any products that you could recommend for iron wrought (balcony), interior doors, etc.? Your insight would be greatly appreciated.

I love Benjamin Moore, but I can’t always afford it!

I am fine with my Behr paint. Works great for me.

I have a problem that needs a solution. I painted the guest bedroom in a color match of farrow and ball’s Pink Ground. I bought a sample, along with other pink samples and tried it out on the wall first. So I painted the room and it turns out it doesn’t work because I have a sloped ceiling. I can’t paint just the walls because there is no sharp edge where the ceiling meets the wall. So pink ground went on the ceiling. The effect is that the paint color has been magnified. All that pink is bouncing off all the other surfaces and it makes the room feel claustrophobic. I don’t want to just repaint the room White. I’d like it to have a light pinky peach hue. But I can’t find a color to replace it with that has the right LRV. I’ve looked into French Macaron and French Manicure. I love these two colors but their LRVs are not a whole lot brighter. So what now? Do I paint a color on the lower third of the wall and white everywhere else? Just go back to white? Get a 75% solution? Any ideas?

I’m going to use Wrought Iron for my bottoms cabinets. What color BM white works best for upper cabinets? Thank you!

[saraheaston]

Yup. He has “allegiance” to Benjamin Moore.

I've scrolled through your videos but haven't seen one addressing best paint choices for a home theatre. Maybe I missed it? We're all watching a lot of streaming video these days... how about a video on colour choices for a TV room?

I’m looking for a color-family for a living room, one that isn’t gray or green but isn’t too bold or striking. I guess there is a light blue. Any others?

[mariaalexander]

Hi James, I'm going to tackle a large open living space soon. As a pro, did you try a paint sprayer? If so & you liked it, do you have any recommendations for this DIYer?

[StrangeDisposition]

Behr has the best quality and most useful samples but I gravitate toward the BM and SW colors more. I am currently looking for grays to paint my house interior and SW does not have samples because of the pandemic? or something, so I have to go to Lowes to get an HGTV SW sample and that paint sample is so cheap and only comes in Satin, when I am a flat and matte person. The BM samples are big and expensive and only come in eggshell. 🤦🏻‍♀️ So I have been in color sampling hell for awhile now.

I’m going to use classic gray in my halls and foyer but would like to know what color goes with it so I can paint my living room a coordinating color. Thank you.

Is there any reason besides convenience to stick to one brand for all products, primer, exterior, interior, etc?

[andreww]

I wanted straightforward info about coverage and durability…..

[bretsmith]

Sw is popular from contractors because they get a huge discount on the paint that they buy not because it's the best paint

[mikeromagnoli]

Benjamin Moore and California are my favorite paints. I stay away from Sherwin Williams as I find them to have marginal paint at best

[aTFplayer]

Behr for Johnny homeowner, sherwin for small jobs, moore for big contracts
