Betsy, I like a matte finish myself as it has a nice velvety look without being shiny and can be cleaned easily. SW Emerald paint comes in this finish. I haven’t used their cashmere; that does have a low luster finish that I assume is like a matte or eggshell. I’m sure they have samples of that at the store. Either one may work for you .

We have used Cashmere and it is lovely. Matte finish that looks velvety. We are also going to use this in our new build.

Cashmere comes in flat, low luster and medium luster. The flat is a washable flat which isn't very washable. The low luster is like an eggshell which I use on walls all the time. The medium luster I have never used but I imagine it is more like a semi-gloss.

Thank you all for these comments. I have a much better understanding!

I think the cashmere low luster is what I am looking for in a paint finish.

One more question. If this is what I have painter use, should we do 2 coats?

I have that ugly builder flat white on wall. Again, thank you!

I always do two coats!! Even though paint companies say “ covers in one coat”! There will be areas that look thin and you want that rich depth of color. Just do two, it’s worth it!!
