Just FYI, from a paint FAQ:
Those terms refer to the sheen or gloss level of the paint. The sheen or
gloss level simply means the degree of light reflectance of the paint.

High Gloss (70+ on a 60 degree gloss meter)
More durable, stain resistant & easier to wash. However, the higher the
gloss, the more likely surface imperfections will be noticed.

Semigloss (35 to 70 on a 60 degree gloss meter)
More stain-resistant & easier to clean than flat paints. Better than
flat for high-traffic areas.

Satin or Silk (Range overlapping eggshell & semigloss)
Similar characteristics to Semigloss & Eggshell.

Eggshell (20 to 30 on a 60 degree gloss meter)
It resists stains better than flat paint & gives a more lustrous
appearance.

Flat (less than 15 on a 60 degree gloss meter)
Hides surface imperfections. Stain removal can be difficult. Use for
uniform, nonreflecting appearance. Best suited for low-traffic areas.
