Answer

In dark green kitchens, semi-gloss or satin sheen paint works best for walls and cabinets. These sheens reflect light better than matte, brightening the space and adding visual depth. Satin balances softness and durability for kitchen walls, while semi-gloss enhances cabinets and areas prone to moisture. Choosing the right paint sheen recalibrates room contrast and prevents dull, heavy feelings. Always test samples to see how sheens appear with your kitchen lighting.
