I always use satin in the kitchen. It's very washable.

I'm an eggshell-everywhere gal. It's also very washable, assuming you get a decent product (look for a 100%-acrylic paint for more durability). I think anything shinier belongs on trim. :-)

I used BM Pearl Finish in my kitchen which is in between eggshell and satin. I love Satin type of finishes since to me they are richer than flat paint, easier to clean and are not chalky in appearance. I redid my Master Bathroom in Semi-Gloss and I love it so much. My other bathrooms are in the Pearl Finish and they are nice also. I dislike flat paint's appearance and the how dirty it looks in such a short amount of time.

I'm a satin girl all the way.

I'm with Johnmari. I really love a good eggshell, or in the case of a color that needs more sheen, the satin. I would not go any glossier than that. And the new paints are very washable in the kitchen. Have you seen GaGal's LAOlive photos?

Here is a link that might be useful:

Yes, GeorgiaGal's dining room is to die for! My curtains are the same exact color, only a different print. I'm excited, I think this color will look lovely in my kitchen forever erasing my lime green goof-up.

I would say a Minimum of Satin.

Eggshell walls in my kitchen, satin woodwork. As mari says, a good quality paint will go a long way for toughness and durability, and so imho shiny walls aren't necessary ;) I used Ben Moore eggshell paint (but had them mix a Behr color for me). Nice rich soft matte finish. No light bouncing around and off walls from shiny paint. Just looks richer imho. Wipes very well, too. No issues whatsoever with it. ;) Wouldn't go any higher in sheen than Satin, that's for sure.

That color looks great in GeorgiaGal's room, but I honestly think it will be too dark in your kitchen. Of course, I kind of liked the lime green, too, so what do I know?

Organic, you think it will be too dark? My kitchen is on the south and doesn't get much light for sure. However, next week we are installing french doors in our DR, so I'm thinking that will wake my kitchen up a lot and give me more light. Laura Ashley 3 was soo much lighter than 4, I thought it would be just too light.
