TLDR Review: Glidden Total Interior Wall Paint, All About Olive, 1 Gallon
Pros
- •Provides excellent coverage, often with just one coat, effectively hiding wall imperfections.
- •Easy to apply smoothly with both brush and roller without splattering or dripping.
- •Dries quickly, which speeds up the painting process.
- •Produces a smooth, semloss finish that is washable and has a soft sheen—neither too matte nor overly shiny.
- •Features vibrant and rich color tones that add depth and character, especially in varied lighting.
- •Thick paint consistency helps with easy application and reduces mess.
- •Works well as a paint & primer aln-one for lighter colors without needing extra priming.
- •Comparable in quality to major commercial brands and durable over time.
- •Packaging includes spill protection (though somewhat tricky to remove).
Cons
- •The final dried color can be darker than it looks in the can, sometimes resulting in a very dark green that may surprise users expecting a lighter olive shade.
- •Color variation issues reported; some users received a shade closer to light mint or pastel tones rather than the expected medium olive/green.
- •A small number of users noticed shifts in color appearance under different lighting, which may require adjustment or testing beforehand.
- •The lid can be difficult to remove due to the rubber/plastic ring on the packaging.
- •For bolder or darker colors, priming may still be necessary despite the paint & primer aln-one claim.
Bottom Line
Glidden Total Interior Wall Paint & Primer All-in-One in All About Olive/Green is a solid choice if you want strong coverage, quick drying, and a durable, semi-gloss finish with vibrant color depth. Just keep in mind that the final color may dry darker and vary slightly from the can, so be prepared for that. If you’re seeking a paint that sticks true to a lighter olive with minimal surprises, you might want to sample it first or consider testing with white paint to lighten the shade. Overall, it offers great value for its coverage and finish quality.
