semigloss
Moderate paint sheen
Semigloss describes a finish—typically paint or photography paper—with moderate shine, falling between flat matte and high gloss.
Semigloss paint is common for trim, doors, and kitchens because it reflects some light and cleans easily: We used semigloss on the baseboards.
Also spelled semi-gloss.
