Paint sheen
Sheen is a measure of the reflected light (glossiness) from a paint finish. Glossy and flat (or matte) are typical extreme levels of glossiness of a finish. Gloss paint is shiny and reflects most light in the specular (mirror-like) direction, while on flat paints most of the light diffuses in a range of angles. The gloss level of paint can also affect its apparent colour.
Between those extremes, there are a number of intermediate gloss levels. Their common names, from the most dull to the most shiny, include matte, eggshell, satin, silk, semi-gloss and high gloss. These terms are not standardized, and not all manufacturers use all these terms.
Examples of use of gloss paint
1. Semi– or high–gloss paint is easier to wipe down than flat paint, for instance.
2. The same gloss paint had been hurled against the front window, and the door itself had its window smashed.
3. An immaculately kept front garden with its pots of flowers and beds of lavender and roses had been completely destroyed, drenched in a white gloss paint that indelibly scarred the pretty stone pathway to the door.
