Paint colour help

I have a dark grey wall behind my bed that needs redoing and I'm thinking I would like an inky blue. Rest of the walls are white and the curtains/rug/throw are blush pink so I think darkish blue would work.
Any recommendations on paint colour (and pics of anyone has them!)? I really don't care about brands like F&B, Little Green etc ( it's really not the kind of house that suits/merits expensive paint!) so Dulux, Crown, own brands etc are fine- if it can be purchased online, bonus, I live somewhere not blessed with paint retailers

Thanks

We used crown midnight navy in our old house and it was really nice. It was a a proper blue, without purple or grey tones. It's the colour in the alcoves, we had Laura Ashley Sapphire on the chimney breast.

Thank you for the suggestions. So I totally went back on what I said in my OP and have just finished the first coat of F&B Stiffkey blue and it looks bloody amazing. Was lured in by Pinterest pics of it. That and it’s a 50 mile round trip to the B&Q whereas the F&B shop is a 2 min drive!

That's exactly what I'd asked about in an earlier post but it went a bit weird and I missed a word 🤣. What colour is the window wall please?

What white are the rest of your walls please? I'm after the same idea but really don't want a grey and thought brilliant white might be too cold! I'm currently thinking timeless but have no idea

@Donnadaydream the other walls are currently Dulux cotton white, it was between this and timeless
