Company: Ace Hardware Corp.
Price/Availability: starts at $24.99 per gallon, www.acehardware.com
Comments: The paint showed no stains after we splashed it with water, and the shoe marks wiped right off. But the crayon scrawls wouldn't budge. The company said crayon stains require extra scrubbing.Product: Duration Home Interior Latex
Company: Sherwin-Williams Co.
Price/Availability: starts at $40.29, www.sherwin-williams.com
Comments: Dirt and water wiped right off this paint as well. But the crayon marks were stubborn.Product: Benjamin Moore Aura
Company: Benjamin Moore & Co.
Price/Availability: $54.99 per gallon, www.myaurapaint.com
Comments: This paint also resisted water, but the crayons didn't wipe away, and slight dirt marks lingered. The company advises waiting longer -- a full two weeks -- before washing, so the protective film can set completely.Product: Martha Stewart Colors
Company: Valspar Corp., exclusively at Lowe's stores
Price: around $25 per gallon
Comments: The paint also stood up to water, and dirty shoe stains cleaned off easily. We were able to get a little bit of the crayon marks off this one -- but repainting would still be in order.
