Behr interior semi gloss enamel ultra pure white 3050

Behr interior semi gloss enamel ultra pure white 3050

For years, I've been using Behr interior semi-gloss enamel in ultra pure white for all the trim in our house. It has been a truly beautiful shade of white, a very cheerful white.
Recently, I went to buy a can, and the can looks the same, except they've added the words "self-priming" to the can. I was assured it's the same paint. Well, it's not! The color looks more grey than the old ultra-pure white. Even my husband who is really bad about noticing little changes can see that there's clearly a difference. I then managed to find a can of the old formula, and, voila, it matches again perfectly. Clearly, there is a problem with the new formula.
Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone know where I can buy a stash of the old stuff?
I also want this posting to serve as a warning to others. If you used the old semi-gloss and then buy the same color in the new version, it's not going to be exactly the same.

What is interior semi

This sleek sheen resists mildew and wear, so it's great for bathrooms and kitchens, and its radiant appearance makes it great for adding color to cabinets, trim and indoor furniture.

Does Behr Ultra Pure White have an undertone?

Ultra Pure White does not have any undertones whatsoever. There are no other colors blended with it. If you use Ultra Pure White to cover large areas, it can reflect back other colors in the area to you, and that includes both nearby paint or decor colors and light coming in through windows.

Is Behr interior semi

BEHR Semi-Gloss enamel interior/exterior oil-based paint is formulated for an easy application with a roller, sprayer or brush. This product provides a professional quality, high hide, mildew resistant alkyd finish with excellent stain removal.

Which is better eggshell or semi

A semi-gloss paint finish will read "shinier" than an eggshell. The shinier finish gives it more durability - making it even easier to clean with a harder dried film that is tougher and can take more wear and tear, but there's a downside. The more reflective the finish, the more imperfections it will show.
