Does Benjamin Moore make Clark and Kensington paint?

Yes, Benjamin Moore does make Clark and Kensington paint, which is Ace Hardware's private label premium paint brand. Clark and Kensington is Ace Hardware's house brand of paint, launched in 2011, and it is manufactured by Benjamin Moore under contract for Ace Hardware, though it is not identical to Benjamin Moore's own branded paints like Regal Select or Aura. Benjamin Moore produces Clark and Kensington to Ace specifications, using Benjamin Moore's manufacturing facilities and technology, but with different formulations that meet Ace's price points and marketing. This partnership allows Ace to offer a high-quality paint that benefits from Benjamin Moore's expertise while keeping it exclusive to Ace stores. Clark and Kensington is positioned as Ace's premium line, above Royal, which is Ace's budget line. The paint is available in interior and exterior versions, with features like primer and paint in one and good coverage. While made by Benjamin Moore, Clark and Kensington has its own color palette and pricing, typically 40 to 60 dollars per gallon, which is less than Benjamin Moore branded paints at 60 to 90 dollars. Many consumers report Clark and Kensington performs well, with good hide and durability, though not quite at the level of Benjamin Moore Aura. So yes, Benjamin Moore is the manufacturer for Ace's Clark and Kensington brand.
