Who makes Wilko's paint?

Have started a coat in the kitchen in Wilko's bathroom moisture resisting magnolia in mid-sheen. The local store ran out so ordered off the internet and halted for a week. Only to find that the delivery is matt and not mid-sheen.

I'm sure I don't really care about the difference but mr perfectionist would prefer to have the right shade and finish.

Does anyone know whose paint wilko rebrand for their use?

    If you have some left or even the tin that it came in, take it to an indepedent painters & decorators merchants. They often have machines that work out the colour of paints and can mix the same colour for you in a Crown/ Macpherson / Dulux mix.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.
