Excellent paint
I used this in a bathroom. This is the first paint that I have only done one coat with including other behr paints.

    Stunning, clean and crisp
    I almost went with the more popular blueish grey but I am so happy I chose this color! It is stunning and so crisp. Everyone thought it would be too “cement” grey but it is not.

      Not A Great Purchase
      The color reflexted on the website has a tan look to it which is what i was going for, when the paint was applied it seemed very white and when it was completely dry it dried an almost baby pink color. I do not recommend buying this color.

      Hi Anaiya, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that the color did not turn out as expected. Typically, the room's lighting and surroundings influence the way the color will turn out. Unfortunately, the colors online are not the best representation of the color, so it is a great idea to sample colors first. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance; our customer care team is happy to help you! -Giovanna Behr

        I have bought this exact color before N 360-3 is in my kitchen. This particular can is wrong. The color is not the same it is much more blue and lighter it almost looks like blue paint. This is too expensive to not be exact and I’m a very dissatisfied. Of course you don’t notice until the paint is on the wall so I used half of it.

        I'm WR,

        Thank you for writing in. I'm incredibly sorry to hear that the recently-purchased paint didn't match the original color applied. We'd love to find a way to help. Please contact Behr directly to speak with a Customer Care representative.

        Confusing Color
        So wish I had read reviews before buying. Bought in store based on color display in store. Lighting and color in the room changes this paint color entirely. If there is anything in your room with green/blue tones, the color appears more Periwinkle blue. Appears light gray if room is darker. I did an accent wall in a brightly lit room against white and it appears light gray. Very difficult to predict and overall I dont recommend. Marquee itself is a great product I’ve used often and other colors appear as advertised.

        Hi YaYa23 - Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that this color didn't turn out as expected. This color can be easily manipulated by lighting and other objects in the room. To fix, I recommend repainting with a warm-toned gray to prevent the color from looking blue. It's also best to purchase an 8 oz. sample to test out before making a larger purchase for the most accurate representation of the color in each room. For further assistance with your project, please feel free to reach out to us directly. We'd be happy to help. - Sara Behr
          Returned to store for refund
          I am reviewing Behr Ultra Scuff Defense in Crisp Linen in eggshell. I worried there were going to be issues with this paint the minute I started to cut in at the baseboard. I’d apply some paint and then, when I moved to another section and tried to feather it into the edge of the first section, the first paint acted like it had already dried and was pulling into streaks and furrows. And so on down the baseboard. When I started to use a roller, it continued to streak and furrow and clump. My wall looks textured at this point. The paint was applied over Kilz primer which was perfectly smooth and dry. This was probably the 25th room I’ve painted in my life so I’m not new to painting. I cut my losses short and went back to Home Depot. The clerk suggested adding Floetrel to the paint; why should I buy a can of paint that I’m using under ordinary conditions to which I then have to add Floetrel? I am now faced with waiting for the paint to thoroughly dry so I can hopefully sand it smooth to start over again. This time, I will use Benjamin Moore paint. The only reason I gave the Behr paint a try is that my local BM provider is closed on Sunday.

          Hi NA3905 - Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that the paint dried too fast, causing streaks and clumps on your walls! To fix the finish, I recommend lightly sanding down the unwanted texture, wiping the area clean to move the sanding dust, then reapplying the paint when the air and surface temperatures are within the recommend range on the label. If the paint continues to dry too quickly, up to 4 ounces of water per gallon can be added to slow the dry time down and allow the paint to level out. For further assistance with your project, please feel free to reach out to us directly. We'd be happy to help. - Sara Behr

            Strong Blue
            This color is very strong! I didn't do big walls with it, just some small unique walls in my house and I love how it turned out. I pained over a medium tan color and it did take me two coats.

              beautiful accent wall
              One coat of the matte behr ultra in sage gray as a living room accent wall. Perfect coverage (over light grayish walls, no primer needed) really happy with this paint. Its a great color. Not too much blue. Does look darker in the afternoon and very light in the morning when theres direct light on the wall.

                Beautiful Color but be prepared to do 3 coats or more
                I bought this in semi-gloss to paint our bedroom. I saw that it was supposed to be one coat application which I was excited about. I was greatly disappointed to find that one coat would not do it. We did a second coat and it still was not good enough. We plan to do a third coat today which should do it. I guess its pretty accurate that it it covers 300sq feet because one gallon did one and half coats in our bedroom. The only good thing about this is the color is gorgeous and rich. I did like that the paint came with a pour spout as well.

                Hello RogueMaiden, we appreciate you sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear our Marquee paint didn't provide the expected one coat coverage; that's not the way we expect our product to perform. Our Marquee paint should cover in one coat when it's applied to a previously coated surface, and it's tinted to any color in the Marquee One Coat Collection palette. Colors outside the palette, or the untinted Ultra Pure White, may require additional coats to provide you your desired coverage and finish. Regardless of the color used, customer satisfaction is important to us. Please feel free to contact our Customer Care team directly with any questions you may have or for further assistance. Have a great rest of your day. –Joanna Behr

                  We love this paint. It covers very well and goes on smoothly with not a lot of drips & runs. One coat does the job but sometimes we do just go ahead and do second coat to really make it look like a pro did it instead of a diy'er. This is our go to paint. We used Behr Marquee paint just recently to paint our newly resided house and it did an absolutely beautiful job. Talk about looking professional!

                  More Electric Blue than Hemisphere Blue
                  If you want a bright blue color then Hemisphere is for you. We wanted a subtle blue color for my son’s room that would not make the room look smaller. Hemisphere did not make the room look smaller but it also was not subtle.

                  Hi Dsetaro,

                  Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear you're dissatisfied with the selected color. Screen settings and lighting can have a major effect on color appearance, which is why I always recommend starting out with a small 8 oz sample. It really is the best way to get a true color representation and it allows you to see how the color changes throughout the day and with different lighting.

                  Please feel free to contact Behr's Customer Care Department for further assistance with this matter.

                  Kindest regards,

                    Looking Glass
                    I used Looking Glass (very very light gray) to paint my nursery-turned office. It covered bright yellow and beige easily, and the medium/dark blue was mostly covered, but I decided to opt for one more coat. Looking Glass had a slight blue to it that I was not expecting, but overall it looks good.

                        I bought the same color twice. First time 5 gallons. I had paint the walls then I bought another 2 gallons same color from the same store. It was totally different and the painter charged me more to paint the whole thing again.

                        Hi HomeDepotCustomer - Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that your last 2 gallons didn't match the 5 gallons you initially purchased! . I recommend checking to see if the color was mixed correctly by comparing the paper swatch to the dried paint dab on the lid of your last 2 gallons. If they match, the color is correct. If they don't match up, the color may have been mixed incorrectly, and we recommend recoating with the right color. It's also best to intermix the paint when working from multiple containers to ensure a uniform color throughout your project. If you need further assistance with this, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly. We'd be happy to help. - Sara Behr

                        Color didn’t match
                        Received the sample very quickly. Painted a large patch in my living room. With natural and indoor lighting at all times of day there is a blue hue to it. The color is nice but I wanted a pure gray.

                          Paint looks white
                          I was beyond excited to finally have my bathroom done. Painted last night and today sand the paint doesn’t have a single bit of silver or grey or any shade for that matter. It looks plain white. If you compare it to my doors they match since my doors are white and plain as day. Beyond frustrated now that I have to repaint it a different color to get the look I was going for.

                            Absolutely thrilled with this shade of dark navy! It took one gallon of paint and two light coats to paint my small dining room. Color went on beautifully and dried even better. I didn’t think I could love a navy blue so much!

                              I was repainting a room with grey paint that was originally painted a deep mauve color. I did not want to paint it more than one time as the ceilings were vaulted and there was significant trim work. The store person in the paint department assured me that one coat would do it, but I'll admit I had my doubts. But it certainly did cover in one coat, and it was easy to apply. I highly recommend this product.

                              This is a great blue- just this is NOT the color that’s advertised. I’ll obviously need to repaint but for anyone looking for a powerful blue- this is it.

                                Maui Mist Is White
                                I have used this color throughout my home in various sheens of the Marquee brand. I am very pleased with the outcome. I do wish Marquee offered Gloss/High Gloss as I had to switch to Behr Ultra which I felt didn’t provide as clean a finish. The other reviewer appears to receive a bad batch of this shade. It is not a pale blue nor pale lavender. The true color should be white with a blue undertone (which will be obvious when you stir up a fresh can of paint). The finished product will be white. It pairs nicely with Mainsail which is a pale blue. Attached image is Maui Mist on the lower half wall and cabinet. Mainsail on the wall.
