C2 LUXE Interior Paint (Flat, Matte, Eggshell, Satin, Semi‑Gloss)
Premium, low‑VOC interior paint with a refined hand that glides on, levels beautifully, and dries to an elegant, durable finish. LUXE delivers exceptional hiding, adhesion, and washability across a full range of designer sheens, making it a favorite for walls, ceilings, trim, and doors. Water cleanup. Minimum application temperature 50°F (10°C).
Full‑spectrum color: choose from C2's curated palette of 496 handcrafted, full‑spectrum colors for remarkable depth and nuance. Real talk, this is the number one reason to buy C2 Paint(with durability and usability close behind, in our opinion). Most other companies go the "economical" route and add black pigment to get their paint to hide/cover. The problem with that approach is that black absorbs all light, and you end up with dull looking colors especially in lower light conditions. If you want the experience of having nature's colors INSIDE your home, you have to try Full Spectrum color.
Why painters choose LUXE
- Beautiful application - spreads evenly with superb flow and leveling for a smooth, professional result.
- Real‑world durability - excellent adhesion and washability help finished rooms stay looking fresh longer.
- Great hide - up to 450 sq ft/gal on smooth surfaces when applied at the recommended film build.
- Low VOC - formulated at < 50 g/L VOC across the line; soap‑and‑water cleanup.

Where it shines
- Main living spaces & hallways: Eggshell or Satin for balanced sheen and easy cleaning.
- Bedrooms & ceilings: Flat or Matte for low‑reflective look and excellent touch‑up.
- Kitchens, baths, doors & trim: Semi‑Gloss or Gloss for added moisture resistance and wipeability. But if you're doing trim, Cabinet & Trim paint performs even better.
Note: Deep colors in a Flat finish can burnish under rubbing; choose Eggshell if you want a non‑burnishing option with a soft glow.
Choosing your sheen
| Sheen | Best for | What you’ll notice |
|---|---|---|
| Flat (L7000) | Ceilings, low‑traffic rooms, textured walls | Ultra low reflectance for superb hide; deep colors may burnish with scrubbing. |
| Matte (L7100) | Bedrooms, dining rooms | Soft, elegant look with better cleanability than Flat. |
| Eggshell (L7200) | Family rooms, hallways | Versatile, easily cleanable finish with a subtle glow. |
| Satin (L7300) | Kitchens, baths, busy walls | Richer luster and increased washability for active spaces. |
| Semi‑Gloss (C7400) | Trim, doors, cabinets | Higher sheen, crisp detail, fast to touch (see dry times), excellent wipeability. |
