We used EcoSpec which is the first Benjamin Moore eco paint and the yellows smelled terribly. The smell went away quicker than normal voc paint but it something to be concerned with if you are sensitives to smells. AMF is made for people who are chemically sensitive. I used their primer and it was amazing and made painting so much easier. I have used bioshields stains but if I recall (this is five years ago) the stains were transparent. They could have changed. AMF low voc water based stains are great. Loved their polyurethane as well. There is alot to choose from now which is great. I love the fact that you can paint using a dark low voc or no voc paint now such as Aura, Sherwin Williams, etc. I have heard good things about American Pride as Jess had mentioned above. It is important that you can source your paint easily because nothing is more frustrating then needing more paint and you can't go and get it.
