Benjamin Moore AURA® Interior Paint

The Aura® Interior Paint is Benjamin Moore's most premium line, designed for designers and homeowners who prioritize color depth and extreme durability. It is widely considered one of the highest-performing paints on the market due to its proprietary chemical technologies.

Key Performance Highlights

• Color Lock Technology®: This exclusive feature "locks" pigments into the paint film, resulting in richer, truer color that is highly resistant to fading and color rub-off during cleaning.

• Extreme Hide & Coverage: Known for its high-solids formula, it provides exceptional coverage and often hides surfaces in fewer coats than standard paints, even when using lighter tones or whites.

• Rapid Return to Service: The paint is exceptionally fast-drying, becoming dry to the touch in 1 hour and ready for a recoat in just 1 hour.

• Advanced Durability: It creates a tough finish that is scuff-, burnish-, and scratch-resistant, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like hallways and living rooms.

• Self-Priming: In most cases, it acts as a paint and primer in one, allowing you to skip a separate priming step on most substrates.

Aesthetic & Application Highlights

• Unparalleled Color Depth: Available in over 3,500 colors, including the Color Stories® collection, which uses a complex blend of 5–7 pigments for more sophisticated hues.

• Flawless Finish: Engineered for superior flow and leveling, it minimizes brush marks and rollers lines to create a smooth, uniform surface.

• Low VOC & Odor: Features a low-VOC formula (under 50 g/L) that uses Gennex® Color Technology, ensuring it remains environmentally friendly even after tinting.

• Mildew Resistance: Every sheen level includes a mildew-resistant coating, protecting your walls in a variety of environments.

Standard Sheen Options

• Matte (N522): Provides a rich, shine-free finish that is excellent at hiding surface imperfections while remaining highly washable and durable.

• Eggshell (N524): The most popular sheen for living areas, offering a soft, low-lustre glow with superior stain resistance and easy cleanup.

• Satin (N526): Delivers a softly polished shine that is ideal for high-traffic areas and trim, providing a more lustrous look than eggshell.

• Semi-Gloss (N528): The most reflective and durable of the standard finishes, perfect for trim, doors, and cabinets where moisture resistance is key.
