Finish: Matte in living rooms and bedrooms for a soft, premium feel; washable satin in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.

Good to Know

Paint a sample on two or three walls first, since grey tones shift with the light through the day. Two coats over a tinted primer give the cleanest, most even result.
