I'm painting my house and picked out colors from a benjamin moore reel. Benjamin Moore paint is quite pricey. Are other paint companies comparable (like Lowes and Home Depot brand) or should I just stick to Benjamin moore?

It's not worthwhile to skimp.

The cheaper companies are thicker, meaning you may need more paint to get the job done.

Benjamin Moore Royal line is high quality latex paint with a low VOC count. That means it is safe to breathe in. It is also washable.
You can't go wrong.

The only room we had renovated was my kitchen and the contractor insisted on only using Benjamin Moore paint, which we did.
DH and I painted other rooms using paint from Lowes.
I don't see a difference. The Benjamin Moore paint has as many boo boos as the Lowes paint. I do think it's easier for the painters to use Benjamin Moore because they don't need to do as many coats.

Benjamin Moore paint is safer and lasts longer. I would only use it.

I love the home depot marquee line. One coat, cleans beautifully and very rich color. It's a little more expensive than the regular line though, but worth it in my opinion.

We used Sherwin Williams which is pretty much identical to Benjamin Moore but better customer service but I've heard great things about the Behr premium which is Home Depot's paint plus primer...
