Lighting & Finish

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

Before You Paint

Paint a sample on two or three walls first, since amber tones shift with the light through the day. Two thin coats give the most even result; save some paint for touch-ups in high-traffic spots.
