Excellent paint. Used an off white color to cover a peachy colored wall and only had to do one coat. Just a beautiful sheen and I wouldn’t use any other paint! Love it!

I love this paint! Dried super fast and only needed one coat of paint. I’ll have to wait and see how it holds up overtime. So far, so good! Just buy it

We are always pleased with Behr’s colors, coat ability, and durability. Eggshell wipes clean without marring the surface. Haze is on walls and ceiling, Stargazer on window wall.

Very disappointed. Could tell as I was painting around the trim that a 2nd coat was going to be needed. Well a 3rd coat was. Historically, I'd always used Behr and never disappointed, granted it had been nearly a decade since I last painted, something changed.

This color is terrible (Toasty Gray)
The color of this paint looks great in the stock photo but it does not translate well in person. It is very chalky and pulls super dark. I was looking for the perfect “greige” and this looks purple in person. Serious waste of money. Super disappointed.

    Excellent coverage
    I'm impressed with the coverage of this Behr Premium Plus. I had to cover orange striped walls and this paint exceeded my expectations. I inherited my mothers home and the walls haven't been painted in 20 years, they are in bad shape. I'll definitely use again in other areas of my home.

      Used all throughout
      This paint we used all throughout our new home and this bucket we bought for touchups. Paint looks great. It does take about 2 coats if primered. Has a minimal odor.

        I personally didn’t apply the color, I only saw it in the pictures of my house once it is painted, Color looks nice and my tenants loved the house so I think color played the role also. Color goes well with the floor.

        Ultra Bright White is NOT
        I've used this paint before and really liked the coverage and low odor. However, this time around has been a bust. Went to local store and looked at the samples. Got a couple samples of the Ultra Bright White in different finishes. Both were very bright, crisp white. Based on that, and prior experience with this same color, I ordered 4 gallons of the Ultra Bright White in eggshell for a property in another state. After applying first coat, contractor called me and said it wasn't all that bright of a white. I asked him to check the cans to make sure it was the Ultra Bright White. He confirmed it was. We thought maybe it was just a matter of needing a second coat. By time I got to property, second coat was on and dried, and the color was definitely NOT "ultra bright white" but more like a off white with a slightly warm tone. We decided to try one more coat. Finished that today, and the final result has an obvious grayish cast. This from an "ultra bright white" eggshell paint. I am now on the phone with Home Depot seeking a refund or exchange for the remaining 2 gallons. Will def not be buying this brand again for any project that requires color accuracy. This is not what I wanted or what was represented in the samples or color swatch.

            Paint had lumps in it
            I purchased 2 gallons, took to the job and began using. Paint had lumps of semi dried paint "skin " in it. I had to pick off the rollers or pick off the wall if I missed it before I applied the paint. Since it was a mixed color and I had opened the cans to start the job, I could not return to Home Depot. I luckily had enough to finish the job. The attached photos are of the pain lumps in the roller tray, and the one on the roller was placed on the roller to show in more clarity.

              As an interior designer and a homeowner, I have spec'd a lot of paint colors for walls, trim, ceilings, and exteriors through the years as well as done the labor myself. Due to the exponentially increasing price of paint, I chose Behr over a competitor due to its cost and quality. The coverage was great and it went on smoothly in my newly renovated living room. Love the new lids/spouts too.

              I only use Behr paint in my home. Ultra Pure White Eggshell Enamel is the perfect color for the walls of a closet. Even though there is primer in the paint, I always use Kilz primer on a newly textured wall to prevent paint from soaking into the new texture and causing color variations. That guarantees the best results of the paint color on a fresh wall. Otherwise, you can use this paint and primer combo to cover up existing paint. Easy to clean with a damp cloth.

              Bitter about Dynasty
              I feel like I'm an unprofessional, professional painter at this point in my life. I've painted the inside of my home by myself several times now, I like to switch up the colors every few years and the kids do as well. I have always used Behr and have always been impressed by the coverage, MOST of the time. I recently came across the Dynasty line and bought 2 of the colors for my living room in this new and exciting 1 coat coverage paint. It was a bust! It did NOT cover in 1 coat and when I went back to the store to get 2 more gallons (1 of each color) the Bitter Sage was NOT the same color as the first gallon! I can't tell you how infuriating it is to have to REPAINT an entire wall (15×9) because when you touched up a few spots, the color was darker than the original paint. So I started reading on the 1 coat guarantee and I love how it recommends buying all of the paint you'll need at the same time to avoid a color difference. Well if I had known that the paint wasn't going to cover in 1 coat and I would end up having to buy another gallon of paint, I would have absolutely done that! So not only did I waste my money (almost $50 for a gallon times 4 because it did not cover in 1 coat so I had to buy 2 gallons of each color), I also ended up having to buy another gallon of the Premium Plus in Bitter Sage to paint over the ENTIRE wall because the second gallon color didn't match the first gallon. Oh and if you want to hold Behr to the 1 coat guarantee, make sure you take pictures of your walls to show that the paint didn't cover in 1 coat and make sure you also take pictures of all your paint cans side by side to show that you bought the same exact paint type (because your receipt isn't enough). I am out over $100 because I went with the Dynasty instead of just sticking with the Premium Plus which has always proven to be high quality paint at an affordable price. I covered a Chili Red wall with Dolphin Fin in the Premium Plus and it covered in 1 coat. Save yourself the money and get the Premium Plus!

              Hi JessinSD - Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear about the coverage and color issue you ran into with our paint! Our Dynasty paint line was designed to cover your previously painted or primed surfaces when tinted to a color from our One-Coat Color Collection, and I'm concerned that you needed to apply 2 coats for full coverage. It sounds like you were already able to fix the coverage and color, but please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly for further assistance with this. We'd be happy to help. - Sara Behr
