Jhayz,

We don't seem to have that information on record - it appears that Aura would be the better choice for trim between the two. Best to ask when you're picking up paint!

Good luck!

I think Semi- gloss. It depends on the look your going for. Semi gloss is softer. High- gloss can't be a bit glaring depending on the size of your space and lighting. Although can look very elegant as a trim with eggshell/ satin finish walls.
