A binder for use in high gloss latex paints comprises water, a copolymer, and less than about 1 weight percent surfactant. The copolymer comprises about 25 to about 60 weight percent soft monomer, about 40 to about 75 weight percent hard monomer, and about 1 to about 3 weight percent olefinic carboxylic acid monomer. In addition, the copolymer comprises about 0.5 to about 3 weight percent copolymerizable surfactant monomer and/or (i) about 0.5 to about 4 weight percent additional monomer selected from the group consisting of cyanoacetoxy-containing monomers and acetoacetoxy-containing monomers and (ii) about 0.5 to about 3 weight percent ethyleneureido-containing monomer.
