if you go to a paint factors and chose a colour off a colour chart i THINK they can add a matting agent to it so literally any colour can be made matt. my local is humberside paints in sthingyhorpe. i can't find a website but i'm sure they have one, maybe its under a different name, they might do paint mail order.
