I'm not at all sure that our range of paint types in the UK match those in the US, so you may not get an exact match.

I think, but am by no means sure, that our (fairly new) water-based gloss paints are acrylics.

Americans: doesn't the name 'latex' refer to a type of paint, rather than actually meaning there is latex in the paint?

Artists' acrylic paint?

Acrylic paint is fast-drying paint containing pigment suspended in an acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints can be diluted with water, but become water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted (with water) or modified with acrylic gels, media, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media.
