    The wall colour is called Paper Clip, by a paint company called C2. The finish on the back doors is pearl (a bit shinier than eggshell, not as shiny as semigloss), and the doors were done in Benjamin Moore's Jet Black. The other side of the front door is actually a different colour, because black would not have worked on the outside of their house!

      Hi The black interior doors were done in B.M. Jet Black ( eggshell ,Satin, Semi Gloss) ? Thank you for any help and you said to make sure my painter uses a roller on the doors right?

      As you can see in the answer just above your question, yes, the finish is satin (satin and pearl are the same sheen)
      If you scroll through previous answers on these photos, you will see all the info you need!
      I am not sure if the painter sprayed these doors or used a foam roller as the top coat, as they were not done on site.

      Beautiful! Do you think this only works with white trim? We have honey - colored wood trim throughout--door & window frames, baseboards, ceiling beams, etc.

      I think you can still do black, even with wood trim! Here are some examples I found....

      What would the equivalent jetblack color be at SW?

      I have no idea. Ask Sherwin Williams, they likely have the formula, even though it is a BenMoore colour.

      Ideal is to do a tester to be sure you like it in person.
