Aura vs Regal in Benjamin Moore interior line?
Comments (3)Neither one is odor free IMHO. I suppose it depends on how sensitive you are to aromas. I like how they smell and the slight fragrance dissipates pretty quickly. Of course, odor is no indication of low or no/VOC. They are two separate issues....See MoreBenjamin Moore Regal Matte?
Comments (8)Thanks All. I'm thinking of going with eggshell in all of the house except for satin in the bathroom. Aura sounds like it would be worth it if rich colors but I'm doing a neutral so Regal Select sounds like the best option....See MoreBenjamin Moore Sample color different than Regal gallon
Comments (5)I just experienced this problem myself with the paint sample color being different than the regal select gallon I purchased. I noticed right away using the regal select that the color was more yellow/beigey compared to the color sample. I couldn’t believe it! I thought they messed up at the store! I I called Benjamin Moore customer service. They explained to me that the Benjamin Moore color samples are not even a Ben Moore line that they sell. It’s called “Ben-Like” and it’s a lower grade paint. Most importantly, the color breakdown in the sample is different than in the regal select line. For example, when ordering, i gave the store the color code for Benjamin Moore Sebring White OC-137 for both the sample and the regal select gallon, and they both say OC-137 on the label. However if you look at the percent colors/amount of colors that go in to the can, it is different. The sample is y3, s1, Y2, s2 (yellows, gray, black) and the regal select is s1, y2, r1 (yellow, black, red) . Thus rendering completely different colors.. On top of it, the color sample comes in an eggshell finish and I ordered the regal select in the matte finish and he said that will also play a factor. So I said, how do I get the color sample color (the color that I initially decided upon!) and he looked into the line that is just called Ben, which is their lower grade line, and the colors were the same as the sample ( y3,s1, y2, s2) and to order it in the eggshell finish. I have no idea Whyyy they do this. i just figured the better the quality line meant maybe only the more thickness or durability. Not a completely different color. This is my first time selecting paint for my new home and after agonizing over 20 different paint samples I finally chose one, only to recieve a different color. Mind blown. It make me wonder about the other samples I eliminated, and also makes me wonder if this is the same for other paint lines like Sherwin and behr. Hope this helps....See MoreBenjamin Moore flat paint - Aura vs. Regal Select
Comments (2)BM has top quality paint and I don’t think it will make as much as a difference as the finish. You may want to take a look at article below and speak to a BM paint consultant as different rooms may also need different finishes, kitchens, bathrooms vs hallways vs bedrooms. Flat is not used often. https://artzyfartzycreations.com/what-sheen-should-i-paint-my-interior/...See Moreacm
