Paint
Paint grades and sheens
Paint grade
Premium paint costs more per gallon, covers in fewer coats and washes better.
Flat or matte
Hides wall flaws. Best for ceilings and low-traffic rooms.
Eggshell
A soft glow and easier to wipe. The usual choice for walls.
Satin
More washable, for kitchens, baths and kids' rooms.
Semi-gloss
Tough and wipeable, for trim, doors and cabinets.
Test colors at home
A color looks different in every light and sheen. Paint large samples on your walls and look at them morning and evening before deciding.
