Dulux Cornflower White: just how blue is it?

This looks fine to me painted on a big bit of paper, but I'm worried that when painted all over a knocked through living room, it will be just a bit too blue.

Anyone used it and know what the effect might be?

I really do want a very pale blue, with a hint of grey. I wonder if everyone will suggest Farrow & Ball Blackened – but that looks to me more like very pale grey with a hint of blue. And I'm not going F&B anyway!

Lots of light in the rooms it's going to go in?

Not moved in yet so hard to know exactly – but front part is west facing so a fair among coming in that way later in day. Not so much from the back part which looks out east on to side return only. (It's a mid-sized three bed Victorian terrace).

I love it - it is a very pale blue when the whole room is painted though. If you really want grey, choose a different paint.

We've just used Dulux White Cotton. It's a really light grey with a hint of blue. Looks nothing like the label on the tin.

I have cornflower white in my kitchen and it definitely comes out as a light blue. I love it but if you wanted a greyish white you'd probably disappointed.
