Does Home Depot Sell Sherwin-Williams Paint?
The short answer is no. Here is where to actually buy Sherwin-Williams, what Home Depot carries instead, and how to match a color if you shop there.
The quick answer: No, Home Depot does not sell Sherwin-Williams paint. The two are competitors, and Sherwin-Williams keeps its flagship paint inside its own stores. If you specifically want Sherwin-Williams, Home Depot is not where you will find it.
The Short Version
Four things to know before you head to the paint aisle.
Buy Sherwin-Williams at Sherwin-Williams
Its signature paint is sold through its own stores, and there are thousands across the country, plus sherwin-williams.com.
Lowe’s has the owned brands
Sherwin-Williams owned lines like Valspar and HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams are sold at Lowe’s, not the flagship paint.
Home Depot means Behr
Behr is Home Depot’s exclusive house brand, alongside Glidden, PPG, Rust-Oleum, and KILZ.
You can color match
Bring a Sherwin-Williams swatch and Home Depot’s paint desk can mix a close match in Behr or another brand.
Where to Actually Buy Sherwin-Williams Paint
Its own stores are the real source.
Sherwin-Williams, founded in 1866, is one of the largest paint companies in the world, and it sells its signature architectural paint through its own retail stores. There are thousands of Sherwin-Williams stores across North America, so there is very likely one near you, and you can also order through sherwin-williams.com.
Here is the point that trips people up. Sherwin-Williams owns a number of other brands, and several of those are sold at Lowe’s, including Valspar, HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams, Purdy brushes, and wood-care products like Minwax, Cabot, and Thompson’s Water Seal. So you will see Sherwin-Williams owned brands at Lowe’s, but the core Sherwin-Williams paint line still comes from a Sherwin-Williams store. If you loved a color from an HGTV show, that is often HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams, available at Lowe’s.
What Home Depot Does Carry
A deep paint aisle, just not a Sherwin-Williams one.
Behr
Home Depot’s exclusive house brand, from budget friendly to premium: Premium Plus, Ultra, Marquee, and Dynasty.
Glidden & PPG
Well known everyday paint lines owned by PPG, dependable for interior walls and general projects.
Rust-Oleum
Spray paints, specialty coatings, and finishes for furniture, metal, and small projects.
KILZ
Primers and stain-blocking products to prep surfaces before your finish coat.
You can buy any of these in store or order at homedepot.com for pickup or delivery, handy when the color or size you want is out of stock locally.
Behr: Home Depot’s House Brand
Exclusive to Home Depot for decades.
Behr is sold only at Home Depot and has been its signature paint brand for a long time. It consistently earns strong marks in independent consumer testing, often at a lower price than the premium competitors, and the lineup covers interior and exterior paint, primers, sealers, and a full range of stains, so most do-it-yourself projects can be handled with one brand.
For reference, Benjamin Moore, another premium name people compare against, is not sold at Home Depot or the big box stores at all. It is carried through independent paint dealers, so that is a separate trip regardless of where you shop.
Who Sells What
A quick map of the major brands and where they live.
Behr
Behr exclusively, plus Glidden, PPG, Rust-Oleum, and KILZ. No Sherwin-Williams.
Its own stores
The flagship Sherwin-Williams paint line, sold only through Sherwin-Williams stores and its website.
Owned brands
Valspar, HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams, Purdy, Minwax, Cabot, and Thompson’s Water Seal.
Local dealers
Sold through independent, locally owned paint stores, not the big box retailers.
Can Home Depot Match a Sherwin-Williams Color?
Usually yes, with a swatch.
If you have your heart set on a specific Sherwin-Williams color but want to buy Behr or another Home Depot brand, the paint desk can color match it. Bring in a Sherwin-Williams swatch, a paint chip, or even a small painted sample, and they can scan it and mix a close match. Keep in mind it will be an approximation rather than an exact factory formula, and the base paint and finish will be different, so it is smart to test a sample on the wall before committing to the whole room.
Interior and Exterior, Latex and Oil
The basics, whatever brand you land on.
Water based latex and acrylic paints are the most common choice for interior walls and ceilings because they go on easily, cover well, dry quickly, and have low odor and low VOCs. They come in flat, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, and gloss finishes. Oil based paints are more durable and level out smoothly, which makes them a traditional pick for trim, but they smell stronger, take longer to dry, and are being phased out in many areas in favor of high quality acrylic enamels. For most interior projects today, a good acrylic latex is the practical choice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Tap any one to open it.
Is Sherwin-Williams sold at Lowe’s or Home Depot?
Neither big box store sells the flagship Sherwin-Williams paint line. Lowe’s carries Sherwin-Williams owned brands like Valspar, HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams, Purdy, Minwax, Cabot, and Thompson’s Water Seal. Home Depot does not carry Sherwin-Williams brands at all. For the core paint, you need a Sherwin-Williams store.
Is there a Sherwin-Williams store near me?
Very likely. Sherwin-Williams operates thousands of stores across the United States, and most metro areas have several. The store locator at sherwin-williams.com will show the closest one.
Can Behr paint be matched to Sherwin-Williams colors?
It can be color matched at the Home Depot paint desk if you bring a swatch or sample, but it will be a close approximation rather than an exact match. When possible, choose the color that fits your project within a single brand’s system, and always test a sample on the wall first.
Does Home Depot sell Benjamin Moore paint?
No. Benjamin Moore is sold through independent, locally owned paint dealers rather than through Home Depot, Lowe’s, or other big box retailers.
Painting to Sell, or Just Settling In?
A fresh coat is one of the best returns on a home before you list. If you are thinking about buying or selling in Las Vegas, I am always happy to talk it through, no pressure either way.

I have lived in Las Vegas since I was five, and I have painted, prepped, and sold plenty of homes here. If you are getting a place ready to list or just moved in, I am glad to share what actually moves the needle.
