Best Dulux neutral to maximise light and space

House is a small, west-facing Victorian terrace. The rooms are small (largest is 12x11 foot) and don't get a lot of natural light, except on sunny summer evenings when the front rooms are flooded. It also feels cold most of the year, even though it's not!

I want one neutral throughout before we put the place on the market, which needs to make it feel lighter, bigger and warmer! We currently have a pale pink in the living room, which I love, but it needs redoing and I realise pink isn't to everyone's taste. DS's room is pale yellow, which I think works in terms of light but wouldn't work throughout. Both seem to help in terms of light and warmth though, so I was thinking either Nutmeg White (pink toned) or Fine Cream (yellow toned).

Needs to be Dulux please, I'm not spending on F&B just to sell it.

Hmm. Just tried some samples. Nutmeg White isn't white at all, it's greige. Polished Pebbble, which I've seen recommended on here, is too grey. Couldn't get a sample of Fine Cream, got Timeless instead; just looked white to me. May try White Cotton tomorrow.

I had white cotton in my living room and it was effectively just white but softer than brilliant white

Nutmeg White in my house is sort of greige, quite nice but cool-toned. Goes well with plain white.
You could also try Rock Salt and Natural Calico.

Ah -- see you've tried Nutmeg White now. Slow poster here. Grin

White Mist is a very pale grey, quite nice.
Just Walnut is a warmish greige, about two tones deeper than Nutmeg white.

You can probably tell I've spent a fortune on tester pots recently....

Natural Hessian is nice.

Morming light and Desert Wind are both nice.
