Air force blue paint for kitchen - any ideas

We have inherited a cream shaker kitchen with beige tiles and we can't afford to change the kitchen at this time, plus it is quite new but I am not a fan of cream, so in a bid to make the kitchen a bit more modern and less 'country' I am thinking of painting the walls an air force blue colour and the window sills/trims etc white. I have settled on Wimborne white from f and b for the white but I can't find a suitable blue. I have tried stone blue and oval room blue from f and b and dancehall and genuine from crown but all four shades are actually more of a greeny blue/teal than a murky blue. I don't want to go navy as we have either sapphire salute from dulux or Hague blue from f and b going in the sitting room. Has anyone got any other shades for me to waste my money on pls!

Have you tried playing with the dulux app - or the crown one - you take a snap shot and can paint the picture - it's a good way of saving pennies !! Gives reasonable results too !! :-)

I used this www.farrow-ball.com/parma-gray/coloursfcp-product/100027 from Farrow & Ball a couple of kitchens ago and loved it. Best blue ever. But if you wanted something a little stronger, what about F&B Lulworth Blue? Neither of them are a sappy baby blue, or so dark they'll dominate your kitchen.

Mystaplerisevil that looks exactly like the colour I am looking for. I spent bloody hours in homebase today so have no idea how I didn't see that. I've looked at some of the others so thank you but they are a bit light. A off to play with the room thing...
