When Benjamin Moore introduced Aura paint to the market, it was featured in Popular Science Magazine as “Best New Product”. To date, Aura is still going strong as an environmentally friendly, low-odour, and super durable paint that doesn’t require a primer and can cover any colour in just two coats. While Eggshell and Matte are their top sellers, there is no wrong choice with this superior product.
The Aura line is a high-end interior paint designed for full, rich applications with no performance drawbacks.
Benjamin Moore Aura uses exclusive Colour Lock™ technology to deliver ultimate performance with deep, long-lasting colour and richness with little fading or colour rub-off. Expect additional performance enhancements like improved anti-microbial and mildew-resistant properties and seamless touch-ups.
Benjamin Moore Aura interior paints are available in four finishes: eggshell, matte, satin, and semi-gloss, and thousands of colours. Because eggshell and matte finishes are easily washable, they’re ideal for interior walls, while satin and semi-gloss work great for doors and trim. While this paint may be a little more pricey, you get what you pay for. One gallon of Benjamin Moore Aura covers an impressive 350 - 400 square feet.
Aura has high solids making it thicker with exceptional coverage. Thicker paints prevent unwanted splattering during application. Benjamin Moore Aura makes painting easy with no excessive spattering and precision results, even when covering ceilings with an overhead roller.
With Aura paint, you won’t have any hat banding or haloing typically associated with vibrant or darker colours. You also won’t see any brush strokes, lap marks from rollers, or signs of inconsistent sheen covering drywall patches. The cut-in stays consistent with rolled areas, offering a uniform sheen and superior appearance.
Although Aura has a thicker viscosity, it spreads smoothly and lays flat without excessive stippling. It also hands well when wet, meaning you don’t have to worry about runs or drips during heavy applications. While we typically recommend two coats, you can often achieve single-coat coverage even when changing colours.
Choosing premium paint can save you time and money while avoiding the frustrations typically associated with painting. With its quick drying time and resistance to abrasions and scuffing, Benjamin Moore Aura is the ultimate interior paint for every room.
