I don't agree that it is best for flat paint on houses. This is harder to clean than semi gloss and adds nothing to the finish,
Many would say that a semi-gloss, flat or satin finish would be best for a houses exterior. The semi-gloss is suppose to be the easiest to clean later on. The flat or satin finish paints, do not have reflective shine when dry.
No, baking powder will not convert gloss paint into flat paint. While it may affect the texture or consistency of the paint, it won't alter the inherent sheen. To achieve a flat finish, it's best to use a specifically formulated flat paint or a flattening agent designed for that purpose.

I LIKE FLAT PAINT. IT IS CHEAPER AND EASIER TO CLEAN. TEXTURED PAINT IS HARDER TO CLEAN BECAUSE OF THE GROOVES IT CREATES. THIS IS WHY I HIGHLY RECOMMEND FLAT PAINT.

Eggshell paints,also called Satin, Silk or Low-luster ,because is less porous than flat paint and doesnt get soiled as fast is the best paint for walls,but flat paint should ever be used for painting ceilings and finally you can use semi-gloss paints for doors
If you are trying to sell it then the colors need to be neutral and plain. But if it is your house you should paint it whatever color makes you happy.
