[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A couple years ago F&B was one of the lowest rated paints by Consumer Reports.  Not just low but shockingly low.  Not sure if the quality has improved bit I would do some research.[/quote]

If memory serves, Consumer Reports uses "value" as a factor, which would hurt F&B, Fine Paints of Europe, and other premium brands. [/quote]

Value factors only into whether they recommend a product or not; it doesn't impact their review of product quality.

"In Consumer Reports’ latest tests of interior paints, Farrow & Ball, an import from England known for its colors, was the worst at hiding old paint and scored near the bottom of the Ratings.   It took two coats of its eggshell finish in white, which costs $105 per gallon, to do what the top-rated Behr Premium Plus Ultra Satin in white, which costs $34 per gallon, did in one."

That was from 2014 so not sure if they have reformulated or not.  I checked the 2020 paint reviews and F&B wasn't in their tests.[/quote]
