Silk Finish

"A mid-sheen emulsion with subtle reflectivity, between matt and eggshell. Popular UK finish for kitchens, bathrooms, and hallways; rare on exteriors."

In detail

Silk is more washable than matt but highlights uneven surfaces. For exterior use, 'silk masonry' is marketed by some UK brands but most exterior work uses matt or low-sheen masonry paint.
