I bet it is. I was enjoying their website. It's one of the most comprehensive sites I've seen.

Their color program and explanation is very well done and informative.

Thanks for checking it out and commenting. As a Canadian, I try to buy Canadian-made products if I'm convinced the quality is acceptable. So far I've been happy with the Para paint and primer I've used.

Do you think eggshell is a suitable sheen for kitchen cabinets (oak painted white)?

Personally, no. I would prefer their Melamine finish on cabinets.
