My paint store carrys six varietys of "base";
flat, semi-gloss and gloss. ( indoor and outdoor )

I just learned a few months ago that "eggshell" is a type of base and not a
color. I believe it falls between flat & semi-gloss.

There's also another sheen in there called "satin." Shinier than
eggshell, flatter than semi-gloss.
