The Easy Way to Choose Paint Sheens
To find the right paint sheen for a specific project, please answer a few simple questions.
*High gloss is only available at select retailers.
Sheen determines the reflectiveness of your paint — in other words, how shiny it looks when it's dry. It also affects durability. All paint colors are available in all sheens.
Semi-Gloss
Ensures maximum durability, ideal for children's rooms, high-moisture areas such as bathrooms and trim.
Eggshell/Satin
Smooth finish with a subtle sheen. Washable and scrubbable. Ideal for bedrooms, hallways, home offices and family rooms.
Flat
Beautiful matte coating, ideal for low-traffic areas. Best for hiding dents or nicks.
