Just as a heads up, you might be able to combine this deal with a 10 off 50 coupon. I think it might be store by store, but the people at my local store were nice enough to let me do BOGO and the 10 off 50.

Looks like this 10 off 50 only last to 2/28/2026 so not a ton of overlap

Also, do not EVER buy that Emerald paint. It's awful and so overpriced. Doesn't cover well, lumpy, even lumpier after you try to reuse it.. I love their Cashmere line. They've now expanded their Cashmere line to also include a satin sheen (used to have to go with Duration or Super Paint for that), and they also sell many of their Designer colors in Cashmere as well

I know they used about the same amount because we have painted the entirety of our interior several times over the past 15 years and always keep track of brand/tier, color, sheen, and amount used. Our contractor set up a bill order with our contact info under his account and we just went to SW to pick out colors. I got an email confirmation with each order. They might have used a couple of gallons less over the entire house - and we definitely had 1/4 gallon or more of each color leftover - but on a project this big, it's not a big of a difference.
Additionally, we have always been happy with the color, coverage, and durability of whatever big box stuff we chose at the time. Contrast that with our latest SW paint, which we have hated...though that's probably because we let the contractor talk us into flat (or matte). It looks amazing when first applied but quickly looks like complete crap. You can't look at it without making a mark on the wall, and there are a lot of random marks on the wall when you have kids and dogs. And sure, it's "easy" to cover, but heaven help you if that paint wasn't shaken by the fist of an angry god because those flatteners are a PITA to fully mix on your own. I would rather spend a fraction of the time wiping up the marks than going through the whole touch-up production with multiple colors. Again, I'm chalking up my dissatisfaction with SW because flat over eggshell, but it's hard to justify SW prices when we've had such good luck with the "cheap" stuff.
So that's my $0.02 that no one asked for. I get that SW is a favorite of both homeowners and pros and if I'm being completely honest, we did SW Emerald Rain Refresh in satin on the outside and it still looks absolutely fantastic. If the price is equivalent - which it may be with this deal, assuming you need an even number of gallons - sure, go with SW. I know it's not bad, not at all. I just don't think it's special in most cases.
Random, but related: I made a big ol' mark on the wall while installing a fireplace mantel. It was after SW store hours and I didn't have any extra of the SW paint for that wall. We were having family and friends over the next morning, so I ran out to Home Depot and picked up the cheapest flat Glidden they had. They matched the color perfectly and damn if that paint wasn't a near-perfect match. I don't think I could find that dinner-plate sized cover-up if I had to.
Haha at the downvotes. My apologies that my experience based on facts isn't as valuable as the Sherwin Williams circle jerk.

You would probably be better off at Home Depot. They have cheap paint.
Cashmere is OK in low traffic areas, maybe adult bedroom, but Emerald is much more durable and has mildew resistance built in.
Duration is almost the same price as Emerald, but has less coverage per gallon, so price is almost the same for the job. Duration is said to have better moisture/humidity resistance early so better for a bathroom you cannot wait a week to cure before a shower.
Superpaint? That is for a rental or a flip. You will repaint in 5 years or less with superpaint.
