SW Emerald or Cashmere?

Well in my corona induced haze of doing all.the.things. I pulled off some Target wall letters in the playroom and they left a nice outline.

Nothing has gotten them off, so looks like I’ll be repainting the room. It hasn’t been painted since we built. We already know we’ll need to repaint the whole house in the next couple years.

I’m torn between emerald or cashmere. I’m using the same color. Want something that will stand up to possible wall washing. I’ve used emerald, but it was our laundry room, so not much in the way of use.

I've never used Cashmere, I always do Duration (if I'm not pregnant while painting) or Emerald (when I am pregnant to reduce VOC exposure). Those lines are marketed specifically for washability/durability.

Most of our house is Duration in matte, and it's awesome for washability. Between kids and dogs, we've really put it to the test in the kitchen and halls. I've only used Emerald in a couple rooms (the kids'), and it's supposed to be just as good, I just haven't really put it to the test.

I've only used Duration and Emerald and they've both been fantastic.

Hmm maybe I’ll go duration. I’m going to get 2 gallons and hopefully tackle the playroom and bonus room. They both need a good repaint.
