Pro tip: Never use Flat sheen in ANY of these paints--you will be disappointed. Satin is the best sheen for 75% of applications, but one could make a case for sheens in the Matte-Satin-Semi Gloss range (NEVER Flat or High Gloss).
Honestly, the price difference with this sale between Cashmere and Emerald is like $10 a gallon, so in an average bedroom maybe 2 gallons, 4 if 2 coats. So like $20-$40 more is well worth the benefits of the Emerald.
Painting is all labor, so no point in cheaping out on the paint only to do it again in a few years if it is your home.
I fully agree NO flat anywhere. Satin for most everything. Maybe a semi gloss in a small bathroom with little ventilation
Do you recommend this for the deck?

Do I need to tint with specific color?
Last year I use BEHR Premium 1 Gal. Transparent Penetrating Oil-Based Exterior Waterproofing Wood Stain Clear Tint Base, which is not good.
Thank you!

SW Emerald is like yoghurt consistency. It's great stuff and when I'm lazy one coat does the job. It flows well, hides brush strokes but also sprays well. I have never had a good experience with Marquee and Emerald is cheaper during these regular sales anyway.
Thanks. I will order SW this time.
I've used many SW paints. Cashmere is probably your best bang-for-bucks, and sworn-by Pro Painters for most wall applications. Emerald trim is best for...trim, but VERY difficult to work with and expensive if you're not experienced. For the average homeowner, I'd recommend Cashmere or Super Paint, or even Duration (getting more expensive for not much more benefit). Source: many of the Paint contractors I've hired, and my own significant DIY experiences.

I been reading about paint quite a bit and it appears Sherman Williams and Benjamin Moore are far superior to what is offered at the big box stores like Home Depot.

Cause my experience with Promar has been fantastic. It is my go to paint for ceilings, was advised to try by another painter (was pissed at Emerald ceiling paint results after two coats) and he was right. If fact I just touch up a 14ft ceiling that had water stains from a leak (roof replacement took almost a year). Tried to get the original kilz cause that seals water stains. The new stuff was garbage took 3 coats which is nonsense!
Retouch up the sealed stains with "Promar" and for a ceiling painted almost 10yrs ago you couldn't see where the touch was. So I beg to differ about it being "crayon water"
Emerald . . . great for trim, but not happy at all with the results, including using Emerald ceiling paint. Now Cashmere, in my opinion is a far better paint.
Also with bathrooms it's critical that you do a light sanding and wash down to get the paint to adhere properly. Of course I NOT a PRO and I am not advising you how to paint.
And this is what I use with plenty of ventilation and with PPE- Advanced Mildewcide

The problem with flat is it has no durability. If you get any mark or dirt on the wall and try to wash it off, flat paint comes off with it. You can pretty much scrub satin.
Ceiling is the exception as durability isn't as important so flat can go on the ceiling.

Duration Matte has become the go-to for painters doing mid-high range repaints (most popular choice). Emerald can be spec'd out for extra, the custom home builders here use Emerald Matte as their go-to but their customers have deep pockets and have 0 problems paying. Alabaster and Snowbound and Greek Villa are in, the greiges are falling out

Superpaint is contractor grade paint and it is crap. About the lowest level paint besides the Promar which I heard compared to crayon water.

Is it ideal? No. It needs a fresh coat every other year. It washes ok for just handprints and stuff in high traffic areas, around light switches, whatever, but any kind of extended wall contact from furniture, a good bump into it, whatever, will leave a mark.
The good news is with the flat, you can get away with touching up small areas without it really showing as long as they aren't smack in your face.
One day, someone will make a truly durable flat. I do really like how Cashmere works though, its right in that sweet spot for being forgiving as a homeowner, but having some pro-qualities as your technique improves. its our go-to for interior stuff.
Also FYI, if you are in their sherwin rewards program or whatever, i've usually gotten the sale price just by asking if i just missed it. They ran this same sale in early august when i was doing my last round of repaints, so they are also seemingly doing it more frequently. It used to be like 2 or 3 times a year.
