Apologies in advance for long message, but its been a saga. We have 4 kids under 5 and a house we are (very slowly) doing up on a tight budget. Each time we have painted a room (all magnolia from previous owners), me and dh have raced off to Homebase whilst GPs are keeping an eye on the dcs, and chosen a white paint (no time for testers here!). Each time we have ballsed up massively. We (well, me, dh hasn't a clue) are looking for a warm cream white for painting the rest of the house (dark rooms), to lighten the place up a bit. We have instead bought a white paint for the living room which makes it look like a sanatorium, its SO cold white. And a dull, 'light absorbing' white for a very dark dining room (didn't read the label on that occasion). Doh! Please help - any recommendations for a warm Devon creamy white (not magnolia, not yellowish) would be very welcome and appreciated. Am on maternity leave at present, so money tight. F and B therefore out. As is any 'make to mix' paints (haven't the time to mess around). Thank you.

Dulux almond white. Have used it upstairs and in a stairwell for decades. Fresh, but not cool

Another vote for Crown Ivory Cream, I searched for ages to find the perfect cream and that was it.
