THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE VARIOUS PAINT SHEENS
Flat
Absorbs light, and hides many surface imperfections. Due to this, surface defects tend to disappear behind the matte finish of a flat paint thus generally requiring one coat.
*However, this also tends to show dirt easily and does NOT stand up well to cleaning*
Eggshell
Hides imperfections as well, but reflects light. It is very durable and holds up to washing very well. This is a very popular sheen. Very silky finish. Highly washable.
*Best used in kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, kid's rooms/playrooms*
Semigloss
Semigloss reflects 35 to 50% of the light that hits it, which most people tend to find too shiny on walls. Perfect for trim, woodwork, cabinets and doors. Has long had a popularity in bathrooms and kitchens.
Gloss
For very high traffic areas that will accumulate dirt/handprints (such as children's playrooms), Gloss is ideal.
*A major downside is that it magnifies the slightest wall imperfection and the high shine can be discomforting*
