In many cases you might not notice a big difference in many of the colors but do on the more complicated colors. Fillers quickly dry out as the paint cures and ends up on the floor not on the wall so color changes. High end paint has more pigment and not lots of fillers. and you will not be happy trying to match high end paint colors with cheap big box paint. No, in many cases you will not get a perfect match between a BM paint to a SW. I would definitely consider this option again! Just my two bits! I found the paint quality to be very high for the price. It wasn’t perfect, but was slightly less yellow and I liked the effect more than the original which I always thought was a bit too yellow. The match ended up being very, very close. Plus, I was planning to repaint all the white in my daughter’s room, so if the colour was slightly different, it didn’t really matter. I was a bit sceptical, but at literally half the price, I thought I’d give it a try.

The guy at the paint desk at HD said that Behr has taken BM’s most popular colours (White Dove is one of them) and has re-created formulas that create better colour matches using their paints. In any case, I thought I’d try to have Home Depot match White Dove using Behr paint. But then I end up with all this left over paint. I do love their paint, but I knew I’d only need half a gallon - the difference between buying 2 quarts and a gallon is $10, so it doesn’t make sense to buy the quarts. I wanted to refresh 2 walls in my daughter’s room and just didn’t feel like spending the $80 for a can of BM. I love the colour White Dove from Benjamin Moore and I almost always go with a local BM dealer for my paint. I just asked about colour-matching at Home Depot.
