Behr (paint)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from Behr Paint)

Founded in 1947 by Otho Behr Jr., Behr is a manufacturer of interior and exterior residential paint, and is known for their extensive range of available colors (over 1800 colors are represented in their paint swatches and samples with over 4000 colors available overall). The company is based in Santa Ana, California. Home Depot is the exclusive retailer of Behr paint.

Behr is pronounced like the animal "bear" and its logo on its cans in fact includes the outline of a bear.

Behr Process Corporation was created by Otho M. Behr. Upon his death his son Otho Jr. ran the company until Jack Croul eventually took over. In 1999 Behr was purchased by the Masco Corporation.
