What's the best quality paint at Home Depot?

The best quality paint at Home Depot depends on whether you prioritize independent lab scores, professional painter preference, or warranty, but the top contenders are Behr Marquee, Behr Dynasty, and PPG Timeless. According to Consumer Reports, Behr Marquee Interior is the highest rated paint sold at Home Depot, scoring 82 out of 100, with a one-coat hide guarantee, excellent stain resistance, very good scrub washability, and a lifetime warranty at about $50 per gallon, making it the best overall value. Behr Dynasty, priced higher at $60 to $68 per gallon, is Behr's most premium line with even better stain repellency and one-coat coverage for dark colors, and is considered the best for kitchens and bathrooms. PPG Timeless, also sold at Home Depot and made by PPG which owns Glidden, is the favorite among many professional painters who shop at Home Depot because it offers superior application smoothness, better touch-up without flashing, and excellent color accuracy, scoring 75 to 79 in Consumer Reports. Glidden Premium is the best budget quality at Home Depot for $30 to $38 per gallon. For exterior, Behr Premium Plus Ultra Exterior and Behr Marquee Exterior are rated highest. Most pros would say if you want the absolute best quality regardless of price at Home Depot, buy Behr Dynasty or PPG Timeless, but for best quality per dollar, Behr Marquee is unbeatable.
