Paint colour question

I’m about to paint my new build for first time. Looking for a paint colour and can’t go get testers this weekend as planned due to illness. Need a white/off white shade that will go with grey (flooring), red (sofa and accessories) and also cream kitchen cupboards/brown worktops.
would like it to look bright and cheery but also hard wearing and possibly wipeable, lots of grubby hands/fingers around!
I work from home and would like the colour to cheer me up on darker days. if that’s possible too!!
am I looking for a paint unicorn!

The most flattering white for most spaces is Dulux Timeless. But I don’t think it is capable
of cheering someone up!

Thanks for those ideas. I suppose I meant a white that is also cheery if that’s possible. Think am just fed up cos can’t get out to choose myself todays y so that is influencing my need for something that would make me happier.

Rock Salt is a soft white with the merest hint of grey.

Was wondering about Rock salt but talked myself out of it as I was worried it might not be right with cream kitchen cupboards.
will have another look.Also looked at thousand shells but ruled that out now as too dark…
