Hi Anne, thank you for your review. I’m sorry to hear that the color didn’t turn out as expected. Typically, the lighting and the surroundings in the room influence the wat the color will turn out. It is a great idea to sample colors first. Typically, our Premium Plus Paint will cover in two coats, while darker colors and porous surfaces may require additional coats. 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! -Ronald Behr

    Not even the right color
    Got this for my daughter's room renovation. Came out royal blue. Weirdly sticky and hard to spread. took 2 hours to paint a tiny room. Was expecting better. Or at least the color I wanted.

      Reasonable Price, Bit Thick, Good Coverage, Too Shiny
      Just used this product in repaint of mud/laundry room which is used as main entrance from garage. Walls take a beating, especially corners and walls next to door. Had gone to couple places to get samples to match paint, folks at HD did best job. Reviewed Behr products with associate and settled on this product (described as their “good” product line). Was cheapest paint/primer option, so bought gallon to test. Other than being exceptionally thick, my only criticism is that the finished eggshell surface was more shiny/glossy than original eggshell finish. Original finish was sprayed on, and assume it lead to a flatter surface. Since we only painted room which is separated from hallway, average person won’t notice differences.

        It's a nice blue. I got the eggshell and put it on my basement wall.

          Plan on spending double the time to paint a room
          When I started painting I noticed what appeared to be little pieces of solid paint. Every time I used the roller it would put these little pieces on the wall so I’d have to stop and remove them.

          Hello KimG, thank you for your review. I’m so sorry there were pieces of solid paint that were getting on your wall. If there are any pieces still on the wall, I recommend letting the paint dry for at least 24 hours, gently sanding smooth the pieces, wiping off any sanding dust, then touching up and recoating where needed. Also, I recommend stirring the paint for 5 minutes in the container to see if it goes back to a creamy consistency. If not, it’s best to use a new container for your project. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. Please feel free to reach out to our Customer Care team directly for further assistance with this. Our team is happy to help you! -Joni Behr

            Doesn’t look like the same color
            I picked Mysteria, thinking it was a blue grayish color. I showed other people and they agreed, “blueish grayish.” Once I started painting I realized this color is not blue gray, it is definitely purple. Now, I have a purple kitchen.

                I bought one can of this paint and it was the exact color I needed. Then I bought this second can of the same color and it turned out to be a lighter color even though I mixed it well. It did not match what I had from the first can even after letting it dry. Very disappointed.

                Hello TG, thank you for your review. I’m so sorry the second container looked lighter than the first one. The same color from container to container may vary just slightly, so I recommend mixing multiple containers together in a larger container to ensure the color is uniform during application.

                  I went by color on the on-line selection instead of walking into a store to view in person. I wanted a 'peach'. Viewed colors in orange section and selected Mango Tango. This color is closer to a 'cantelope'. Left gallons with painter without seeing until he completed job! It is a warm, rich color, but not what I had in mind's eye! Not the soft peach; but a louder oranger shade.

                  Beautiful color for accent walls in my bedroom. I painted in the morning and had windows open and ceiling fan on for most of the day, and I had no problem with odor. I slept in the room that night without incident.

                  Hi Debe,

                  Thank you for your review. As stated underneath the product image, "Colors may vary by screen type." Please keep in mind that screen settings can have a major impact on color appearance. That is why we strongly advise trying out a small 8 oz. paint sample before starting a new paint project. I suggest going that route for your next project.

                  Kind regards,

                  Doris Behr

                    Beautiful color, durable, easy to wipe clean and clean up brush afterwards. Very reasonably priced, but I recommend primer also, if you are covering dark colors (though this paint is pre-mixed with primer); otherwise, you will need at least 3 or four coats of eggshell paint, not to mention the extra time it takes to paint.

                    PRIME AND PAINT ALL IN ONE
                    This paint is our families favorite. No one likes to prime and then paint and then another coat. Coverage was great with sprayer, paint brush and roller. Has held up many years on our New England house with it's harsh winters.

                          The color was unexpectedly bright - like a green screen.
                          I got this paint thinking it was closer to a sage shade from what I saw online. I do understand the issues of picking colors online, but was surprised at how bright this ended up being and thought other people should know. It was a waste of money and time for me and I am re-painting another color ASAP. Rating is for the difference in color. It is low odor and goes on the walls well.

                          Hi Hilary - Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that this color turned out brighter than expected. Colors online may vary from the color you ultimately paint on your project, so it's best to check out the paper swatch or purchase an 8 oz. sample for the most accurate representation of the color. I also recommend checking to see if the color was mixed correctly by comparing the paper swatch for New Bamboo PPU10-04 to the dried paint dab on the lid of your paint can. If they match, the color is correct, and we recommend recoating with a new color. If they don't match up, the color may have been mixed incorrectly, and we recommend recoating with the right color. We'd be happy to assist you with this further. Please feel free to reach out to us directly at your convenience. We hope to hear from you! - Sara Behr

                            It was hard to cover the dark paint with this light cream color, but having primer in the paint and a coat of primer also helped with coverage. One coat of primer and two coats of the cream, was worth it. I knew I would be needing a lot of paint for two rooms, so I put primer on first. The eggshell covers well and helps hide blemishes in the wall.

                            This is the worst paint I've used in 30 years. The "new formula" scuff defense is the worst. It runs and it doesn't cover!!

                            Hello Frustrated, we appreciate your feedback. Sorry to hear you didn't get the coverage you were expecting from our paint and that it dripped; that's not the experience we want our customers to have with our products. Our Premium Plus Paint offers great coverage. However, it's not guaranteed to cover in a specific amount of coats. Multiple coats may be needed to achieve your desired coverage. To ensure proper consistency, we recommend stirring your paint for 3-5 minutes before using it. Customer satisfaction is important to us. Please feel free to contact our Customer Care team directly for additional assistance or if you have any questions. Have a great rest of your day. –Joanna Behr

                              Marquee One Coat, well it depends on what you are painting! Going over redwood TNG, by my experience at least two coats but probably three to get the actual pure white color. I’ve painted four coats! The first coat had one day dry time.
