Benjamin Moore's Aura Satin and new Regal Select Semi-Gloss were front-runners in part because CR's tests showed that they're better than earlier products at maintaining their gloss after cleaning. Both also leave a smoother finish and stand up better to scrubbing. But at $50 per gallon, even the less-pricey Regal Select costs almost $20 more than the Behr paints, which performed almost as well. Paints that require less work and have fewer toxins are a bonus this year, as are more top choices for less than $30 per gallon.
