Light grey paint

So I want a light grey paint, one that is actually grey based not a light beige/cream/blue. Kind of half-way between Dulux chic shadow and white - does something like that exist?!

Photos are ridiculously bad. No idea why I chose a corner with a load of shadows in it. But you can get the gist that it's a very pale, almost white grey.

Thanks white covers, always good to see a photo.
Polished pebble goes on quite dark but dries surprisingly lighter.

Agree with pp, cornforth white, it is exactly what you describe. Also slipper satin is a nice warm grey. Both f&b.

I have just painted my living room and hallway in Valspars Shetland Sweater, it's a super pale almost white grey. Will get a photo tomorrow.

Also looking for something slightly lighter than polished pebble, I think. Maybe I'm not brave enough!

Have a look at dulux grey steel - 1-2 are a good combo.

Dulux grey steel 2. A proper grey without blue, green or purple undertones.

I've been looking at paint today and Dulux's Rock Salt is a very pale, almost white grey. I was going to get a sample pot but they didn't have any left.

Farrow and Ball are all about whites that aren't quite white just a bit grey / yellow / other colour. Try one of them. F&B are great quality paints and stand the test of time well

F&B Great White is gorgeous but in my house looks lilac - which was what I was looking for.

F&B Strong White is really lovely, but only looks grey if you have white against it. It is very pretty - not warm or cold, a real neutral.

F&B Ammonite is a bit darker, also very nice.

Dulux Dusted Moss comes in different depths. It looks very brown going on but dries to a silvery grey with blue/green hints.

Little Greene Pearl Colour is lovely - again, comes in different strengths. Quite green-toned.
