How to Choose a Paint Finish

Put the finishing statement on your paint colour of choice by selecting a sheen that enhances the look of the surface. Sheen, or paint finish, is a measure of how much light reflects off a painted surface, resulting in gloss—or a lack thereof.

Sheens and glosses range on a scale from no shine to high shine. Different levels of sheen can affect how colours appear and add dimension to rooms. While there are many different types of sheen, you are most likely to see these seven key interior Benjamin Moore paint finishes during your painting journey:

  • Flat
  • Ulti-Matte
  • Eggshell
  • Pearl
  • Satin
  • Semi-Gloss
  • High Gloss

If you’re stuck on sheen, ask our experts here at The Brilliant Brush to recommend the best finish for your project.
