Paint selection

Choosing paint for your home painting project is an important step.
Except for a few Alkyd paint diehards (sorry folks), Latex paint is what you will use.
Avoid really cheap no name products, cheap paint is cheap paint!
Eggshell finish refers to the sheen of the paint and not the colour.
Usually, eggshell is used everywhere including bathrooms and kitchen.
However, rooms where moisture can be a problem, use semi gloss or pearl, the latter has a sheen between semi gloss and eggshell.
There are some good washable flat finishes in the high end paints. These are good for Faux Finishes and some living area's.
Quality is important. The top of the line products are worth the money because you get a better looking job, and also last longer.
Benjamin Moore is a favourite of mine, I also use Cloverdale Paint, and General Paint.
Benjamin Moore has a great reputation and their top of the line paints perform very well.

Have fun, Ken.
