Pink paint suggestions for dark bedroom

I’m after some ideas for pink paint for DD’s room please. The room is not huge and north facing, its currently blue and feels very cold. I have cards for Little Greene and F&B but nothing is standing out. We have previously used F&B Calamine but that doesn’t feel right......any suggestions gratefully received.

Dulux Pretty Pink has worked out lovely in my DD's small, north facing room it's a warm but not overpowering pink but does look a little lilac at times. The blush pinks I'd normally have chosen looked dirty, dull, some were cold and one even looked magnolia in there!

I think the main thing is get lots of testers for a north facing room and paint them onto A5 or A4 pieces of white card. Then you can look at them on each wall at different times of day and make sure they don't appear gloomy or cold on any of the walls (north facing rooms seem to be much harder to get the right colour for, as the colour never seems to come out how you expected).

If you wanted to stick with blue but it not feel cold then pale duck egg blues (or other greenish tinted blues) also work nicely in a north facing room and don't look cold.

Thank you for the advice! Any other suggestions greatly received before I go and spend a stupid amount on tester pots....

Dulux have a light and space range which is great but ££ if I'm remembering correctly, so I'll be keeping an eye on this thread for ideas too!

I'm not usually a pink fan, but I really like the Little Greene colours Hellebore and Ashes of Roses.

I have a north facing sitting room painted in F&B Oval Room Blue and it doesn't feel cold at all. I love it. Might be worth trying a sample if you're keen to stay with blue.
