Benjamin Moore paints offer 7 sheen levels for interior paints and 4 sheen levels for exterior paints. 

The shininess of a paint film is referred to as its sheen. It is a measure of how much light is reflected from the surface – the shinier the surface, the higher the % reflectance. 

In a room, the amount of light falling on a surface will change how shiny it appears.  So, shinier sheens will not appear as shiny in dimy lit rooms as in brightly lit rooms.
