Distemper paint is a traditional type of paint made from water-soluble binders, such as casein or starch, combined with pigments. It is known for its matte finish and is typically used for interior walls and ceilings. Distemper paint is breathable, allowing moisture to escape, which helps to prevent peeling and blistering in humid environments.
