Paint choice is an important decision when it comes to painting a room or other surface. There are several types of paint to choose from, including MATTE, COLOR, ENAMEL, HUE, LATEX, and TINT. MATTE paint has a flat finish and is often used for ceilings and walls. COLOR paint is a type of paint that can be mixed to create any desired shade. ENAMEL paint is a glossy paint that is resistant to scratches and stains. HUE is the name for a COLOR, such as red, blue, or green. LATEX paint is a water-based paint that is easy to clean up and is often used for interior walls. TINT is a COLOR that has been lightened with white.
