Are Eco-Paintsmore expensive than conventional paint?

Low-VOC synthetic paints are comparable in price to premium product lines. Natural paints may cost between 5-20% more than conventional paint, but save money in the long run. Evaluations have proven that 'Green' Buildings have higher re-sale value, and result in increased productivity due in part to reduced illness. 
Paint materials costs only account for less than 20% of total painting costs, and usually less than 1% of total building costs.
