ᐅ Which wall paint color would you recommend?

I have never had any issues with Alpina, cheap paint from Obi, or anything in between. They all make the wall white.

I have a self-employed master painter as a good friend, and he quickly moved away from cheap paint. Depending on the wall area, you have to apply 3 to 4 coats. Patchy wall surfaces are also not uncommon. I think in the end, it’s about the volume. If you’re painting a room here and there, then the inexpensive paint from the home improvement store will do the job.

Personally, I don’t like painting at all and want to get it done quickly — which means a maximum of two coats. We painted our entire house with Brillux Superlux 3000 and I have nothing negative to report, except perhaps the price.

My favorite for regular walls is Keim Biosil. It is easy to apply, creates attractive surfaces, and is safe for health and environmentally friendly.

I once painted a bright orange apartment with paint from a hardware store. What can I say? It covered well with the first coat.
So, I have always been satisfied with hardware store paint. Although, I don’t have to do this every day.

On the other hand, what’s 200 or 300 euros difference for paint when building a house?
So, go ahead and treat yourself.
I also chose the expensive paint (Alpina) for my house. 😉

You should first clarify what is important to you. Personally, I also prefer Keim paints and in my own house I only use Biosil. Innostar is also a good paint, which can sometimes cover in just one coat.

But first, it’s important to consider what properties you need. Should the paint be especially abrasion-resistant, washable, or rather have the characteristics of silicate paints? Take a look at the differences between silicate and dispersion (emulsion) paints. That will cover the main options. You can find plenty of good paints in both categories.

So far, I haven’t looked into it in detail, but the company "Keim" has been recommended to me several times. Especially because they work in a “somewhat mineral-based” way. (I don’t know if this also applies to "Keim Biosil").

That means:
I am not familiar with Biosil, but I recommend taking a closer look at it.

I'll ask this way: which paint color have you used and had good experiences with?

Get your paint from a professional paint store. You really can’t go wrong with that.
