eggshell finish
Low-luster paint coating
Eggshell finish is a paint sheen with a slight luster, falling between flat and satin on the glossiness scale.
The name comes from the subtle sheen of an actual eggshell—not quite matte, but far from shiny.
It's popular for interior walls because it hides imperfections better than glossier finishes while being easier to clean than flat paint: We went with an eggshell finish for the living room.
