Well, there's matt, satin, and semi-gloss available in that paint for interior. The flat and gloss is only available in Duration exterior if I remember right. The matt is halfway between a flat and a satin. Almost no sheen, but washable.

Re: What Is Everyone's Favorite Interior Paint?

Depends on the application. I favour certain paints over others for different uses, finishes, etc.
