I prefer and use the Sherwin Williams Brand. One of my customers just had interiors painted with their Low VOC product and was very happy. I have also heard great thing about Benjamin Moore product.

Sherwin Williams has a few low and zero voc products. Harmony is zero VOC, it contains no silica or VOC's. Harmony is available in a primer and top coat. It's available in a couple of different sheens and is great for residential or commercial use. They also have Pro Industrial interior and exterior zero VOC acrylic latex paint. Shewin Williams is a leader in making green products for the coatings industry, including there manufacturing plants.

Portland, ORA: YOLO Colorhouse
YOLO Colorhouse is a winner. Gorgeous palette, great coverage and zero VOCs. Over the past 3 years, I've painted the entire interior of my 100-year old home with YOLO Colorhouse and give it the highest marks. Its performance is truly impressive. I have two young boys and wipe down walls constantly; the color and coverage is holding up beautifully.

Honolulu, HIA: Mythic
Mythic Paint is 0 Voc 0 Toxins. Truely the best paint in the world. Color Trend 0 voc low oder tints with Titanium Dioxide which makes the colors brighter and more vibrant than Benjamin Moore. Yes, Mythic is the Paint all the Stars use. What is truely Green, hmmm I think Mythic wins hands down. Mythic is indoor and outdoor paint safe for contractors and home owner's alike even children and pets. So lets get real, Aura claims there one coat paint may be less labor intensive, but I would rather do two coats and be safe in my home.
Oh, and much less expensive in Hawaii.

san diego, CAA: AFM Safecoat
We wanted the safest paint for our home. Everyone has zero voc but we understand that even zero voc paints can have unregulated
toxic ingredients. Safecoat has been around 30 years making paint for people who suffer from chemical sensitivities and allergies. Better for them sounded like it would be better for everyone. We love this paint. Great hide, almost no odor when wet and none when dry. Zero VOC colorants and a very interesting color palette called Ayurveda Essence. This is the best of the bunch.

A: True Zero VOC
Benjamin Moore makes the lowest VOC product on the market because their paint and colorant is zero VOC.

A: Benjamin Moore's Natura is NOT zero VOC! Check Consumer Reports testing on zero VOC paints!
AFM SAFECOAT and MYTHIC are THE truly ZERO VOC paints! Check the testing of all the paints at comsumerreports.org (they didn't test AFM SAFECOAT, but it is even better than MYTHIC). And if you are going for ANY ZERO or LOW VOC paints, make certain the TINTS are ZERO VOC as well, or you'll poison yourself just as much as with higher VOC paints!
