No, gloss paints are typically oil-based. They contain resins and oils that provide a highly shiny finish. Water-based gloss paints also exist, but they are less common and may not provide the same level of sheen as their oil-based counterparts.

Regardless of the color, oil-based paints use solvent, normally mineral spirits, as a solvent Vs. water for water-based and oil-based paints dry harder than latex paints making them more scrubable. Water-based paints don't yellow or crack as they age and can be formulated to dry fairly hard while still retaining some elasticity. Both oil and water-based white paints should cover to opacity in a single coat.
