Best (won't yellow) White gloss?

Moved in about 18 months ago and some of the gloss work we did when we first moved in is looking very yellow. Any recommendations for White gloss that will stand the test of time? Thanks

I think the cheaper glosses go yellow quite quickly

I used Satinwood, it's a non-shinty gloss and doesn't yellow (or not that I've noticed). Grin

oil based gloss goes yellow - it's the oil that makes it turn yellow.

water based gloss/satinwood isn't as hard wearing but stays white.

Hey. I work for a very well known paint company. As the poster above said: if you want to be 100% certain it will never yellow then used water based. All solvent based glosses will yellow eventually- more so now due to legislation about ingredients from the government.
