Sherwin-Williams
Sherwin-Williams was founded in 1866 in Cleveland, Ohio by Henry Sherwin and Edward Williams, and the company is widely credited with introducing one of the first ready-mixed paints in 1873, sparing painters from having to hand-mix pigments and oils on site before every job. The company grew into the largest paint and coatings manufacturer in the world by revenue, and its distinctive "Cover the Earth" logo, depicting a can of paint literally pouring over a globe, has served as one of the longest continuously used trademarks in American corporate branding since its introduction in 1905. Sherwin-Williams built an extensive network of company-owned retail paint stores across the United States, a distribution strategy setting it apart from paint brands sold primarily through third-party home improvement retailers, giving the company direct control over sales and professional contractor relationships. Sherwin-Williams's combination of its pioneering role introducing ready-mixed paint and its unusual company-owned retail store distribution model has made it one of the most commercially dominant paint brands in the world.
VS
Behr
Behr was founded in 1947 in Santa Ana, California, and the company built its dominant market position through an exclusive, decades-long partnership supplying paint exclusively through The Home Depot's stores across the United States rather than operating its own dedicated retail locations. The company has consistently ranked among the top-selling paint brands in the country by volume, a position substantially driven by Home Depot's massive nationwide store footprint rather than a network of Behr-branded standalone stores like some competitors maintain. Behr has invested heavily in in-store color-matching and paint-mixing technology at Home Depot locations, and the brand has built a strong reputation specifically for do-it-yourself homeowners rather than the professional contractor market some rival paint brands emphasize more heavily. Behr's combination of its exclusive decades-long Home Depot retail partnership and its strong positioning toward do-it-yourself homeowners has made it one of the best-selling paint brands in the United States.
