You guys realize that five bucks out those $55-$60 is spent so you can have those cute one gallon Aura cans

It seems that SW is modeling the new labels after Ben Moore's labels. I like the new labels because they look more futuristic and elegant than the old ones.

I also like how the label's look is consistent through the lines of paint.

You aren't alone in disliking them. I've talked to SW employees and they aren't very excited about the new labels.

They are all the same now, no way for me to tell what they are in a cramped space under the stairs using weak lighting.

I used Aura when it came out not too long ago.
5 gallons in all, and honestly I cannot see what the hype is about my customer is having touch up problems after almost a year later.
She insisted on using it @ $60.00 a gallon so I figured heck why not.

The labels are pretty neat-o though.
