Default Paint options

| I've used both Behr Satin "Enamel" and Pratt & Lambert Accolade Satin,

That's good to know, though Accolade is acrylic,
which doesnt help me in finding a good satin oil paint.
I'm especially interested in knowing peoples' experience
with interior oil trim paints since the EPA regulations
took effect and since Benjamin Moore's formula changes.

I wouldn't argue with that. Though there have been
cases of poor color retention. As I recall, Olympic was
sued at one point for unusual color fading with their stains.

But my reason for listing that was just to list the aspects
of a paint that might be really relevant in choosing a
paint, as opposed to the list that CR is likely to test for.
I don't consider "ease of cleanup" to be one of those
important details.
And of course I wouldn't really think of color retention
being an interior paint issue in general.
