For years of painting, I told my customers and myself that PPG Manor Hall was the best semi-gloss white paint on the market. But I never did a deep dive into comparing other premium paints such as Ben Moore Regal Select or Sherwin Williams Duration.
I used those products from time to time, but never really compared them to each other.
After 33 years in the industry, it’s time to find out who has the best semi-gloss white paint.
In full disclosure, I have not been a full-time painter working in the field since 2010.
Today, the best semi-gloss white paints are Ben Moore Aura, Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane, and Behr Dynasty.
Are these paints the best of the best? Maybe. But they certainly are the most popular.
Other paints that are lesser known but great products would include: c2, Fine Paints of Europe, and PPG Ultralast.
