SW EMERALD Eco Paint Anyone tried yet? Sign In/Join

I have loved loved loved Benjamin Moores Natura paint and primers....have been hesitant to get two shades of SW paint matched as I have heard it's rather an art than simply a computer match. I prefer having the company's actual formula to a match. I have large areas I want to use the paint in so want to get accurate matches when I run out. I was happy to find out yesterday that NOW Sherwin Williams is competing by putting out VOC fee Tint machines at all it's stores by 7/1/2012. New line is EMERALD VOC free with VOC color tints in all their shades. WOO HOO!!!

So I am game to test it out but wondered if any of you painters have used and what you think?

I love the BM Natura for lack of smell, application and wear and tear....and no VOC tint/base. So hoping I will get similar results...Plus it's 30% off til 7/8....Big Grin

Going to try Harmony Primer as well....any comments??!?!

Haven't been in to SW myself but I've heard they're all doing computer matches. Also heard there's a website available for that, too. So, you might check that out -

Sounds like a plan! And, it's on sale! (We usually do see holiday paint sales so July 4 s/b a good time to purchase paint.)

JMHO.

Good Luck!
