- Walls
- Budget
- Low voc
- Rentals
A genuinely capable budget wall paint that covers most repaints affordably, as long as you accept extra coats on tough colors.
Pros
- One of the cheapest true paint-and-primer options at Home Depot, around $28-36/gal
- Flat, eggshell and satin sheens carry a zero-VOC, GREENGUARD Gold formula that's low-odor
- Widely stocked at every Home Depot with Behr's large in-store color library
Cons
- Thinner build than premium lines means deep colors and dark-to-light changes often need extra coats
- Scrub and stain resistance trails pricier paints like Regal Select and Marquee
- Batch and tint consistency can vary, so buy enough at once and box your cans
