[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Farrow & Ball is unquestionably different to Behr or BM. I don't think it "matters" in the big scheme of things, but it can look very nice in the right house.[/quote]

I agree.  I have tried to have Farrow & Ball colors copied/matched as BM and some worked, while others didn't.  Because of the way Farrow & Ball manufactures their paint, there are some colors that just can't be replicated.  There is something about the pigments they use that makes the difference.  Not all of their colors, but I found that to be true of the lighter colors.

Bottom line, you have to balance how it looks on the walls against the price.  I say go for the cheapest paint that you think looks good.

Anecdotally, we had all of the rooms painted in our house recently and I only get questions and compliments concerning the paint in two room that have Farrow & Ball paint.  One is painted cabbage white (a blue-green white) and the other is white tie (kind of a warm yellow/white).  [/quote]
