$50 per gallon
Type: Zero VOC
Coverage: Excellent. Natura and its low-VOC sister, Aura, provided the best coverage of all the paints we tested.
Odor: None. “Even up close, I couldn’t smell a thing,” LaPlante says.
Dry time: 1 hour
Bottom line: Natura was LaPlante’s favorite. Its coverage was as good as the Aura’s, but the color seemed richer and creamier. That and the fact that it has no VOCs tipped the scales in its favor.
