According to the EPA, VOCs “include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects.” We discovered the reality is that a paint’s “low-” or “zero-” VOC designation actually has nothing to do with indoor air quality. Many are manmade, and they are common in the manufacturing of paint, among other things. VOCs, or “volatile organic compounds,” are materials with a high vapor pressure (they evaporate easily at room temperature) and low water solubility.

Jeff Young, owner of Young Ideas Painting and Design in Concord, Massachusetts.Because it’s a nice thick paint, it isn’t likely to run or splatter, and the end result was an even sheen with hardly any brushstrokes, far better than any low- to mid-level paint we’ve used. As part of this guide, we painted two rooms with it and were surprised at how easy it was to brush and roll. Regal Select is also an easy paint to work with, making it ideal for the non-pro. The one thing we heard over and over from nearly every painter we spoke to was that “you get what you pay for.” At a little over $50 a gallon at the time of writing, Regal Select isn’t cheap, but, like other high-end paints, it applies in fewer coats, looks better, and lasts longer than its cheaper competitors.
This is particularly important if you’re looking to match an existing color or to get specific painting advice. Unlike some other popular paints, Regal Select is only available at dedicated paint retailers and smaller hardware stores, where our painters feel more comfortable with the expertise behind the counter. Our painters like Regal Select for its coverage, durability, cleanability, and color selection.
