Ben Moore low voc Aura is awesome. I used it when it first came out in my homes bedrooms. The quality is great. I have used other brands and this is the one I will stick with. Thicker quality paint will save you from color bleed thru, spotting in bathrooms from water and it is a very color true product (no almost mistakes). Ben Moore rocks!

If the color is different than on the swatch you should be able to take it back to the store and at least get a refund for the paint. Tell your husband I feel for him. Best of Luck.

This product is disappointing. Caution to all potential customers. We chose a shade of red that resulted in a shade of nasty flesh pink. While at the Home Depot, I did ask the clerk after she processed the color (using the -instant color pack for the paint-) if the odd shade of pink would darken when applied to our home’s walls. She assured me it would-i.e.-be Rhythm Red. My husband spent a day applying the paint to our walls. It was awful. The color did not darken. It is a retching shade of flesh pink now. Do not trust this product!

I have not painted with Freshaire yet, but from what i’ve read, i understand the reason for the limited palatte is that the colors come from powdered tints. Hence 0 VOCs. Perhaps they elected to launch the product with an “introductory” palette and if successful, will expand the color selection.

I just used the Freshaire product and was very not pleased. Lots of coverage issues, priming a must. It took three passes for decent coverage. Unfortunately only went to the reviews AFTER not being happy. Thanks for your review. I’ve always had good luck with Benjamin Moore products and won’t stray again.
