A question for any painter/decorators

So, we have used Farrow and Ball in our kitchen for years. There have been some problems with condensation in an area near the back wall, mainly due to a rubbish extractor fan that we didn't realise was quite so rubbish until recently - and after we repainted using a scrubbable emulsion in a F&B colour (I can't remember the brand, maybe Crown? The decorator, who is hugely recommended and really good, said he never used F&B, but this copycat).

Anyway - whilst we wait for a new extractor, I'm noticing that the walls are REALLY wet when i cook and there's steam. In places around the kitchen where I'm sure I've never noticed it before.

It looks glossy with wet - could it be the paint that makes it looks worse? The slight sheen? Or has it always been this wet and the matt F&B didn't show it up.

It's weird how it's all happened since we got repainted
