At least the paint counter guy said oh yes, they match to SW and BM all the time. I'm also hoping they can match SW's Diverse Beige. So, I'm crossing my fingers that Home Depot can at least match two BM classic colors - Brittany Blue and Violet Pearl. I could see that the moment I walked up to the display. It's that the colors are NOT as rich and complex as BM. I wasn't disappointed in the Behr paint when I picked up samples today. I just can't afford $48/gallon or higher, plus 9% sales tax when the price of another major part of the renovation went up by 35%.Īnd, we were just informed the painters are coming this week. Behr is less expensive, and the contractor gets a good discount. I missed the SW sales like an idiot - two of the colors we've chosen are from them, and I like their whites. Our remodel is on such a tight budget, the paint may have to be Behr.
