Satin Paint:

The overall reflective nature of the paint is impacted by its finish. Flat paint is the least reflective, and gloss is the most reflective. Satin paint falls in the middle. Two bonus attributes of satin paint are its durability and its ability to be cleaned gently.

Things to note with satin paint are that when choosing between oil-based and water-based paint, there are pros and cons. Oil-based paint will harden faster and generally provide better coverage on your walls. The downside is the long-lasting smell; it can take a while for the fresh paint smell to disperse. Water-based paints are more durable and will take longer to yellow. The downside is that it takes longer to get the same coverage as oil-based paint provides.

Satin paint is best used for surfaces with a low impact, such as door casings, doors, windowsills, and trim
