What neutral to go with dulux sapphire salute??

I am looking to paint a feature wall in the living room in my new house, I want a rich blue and really love the look of sapphire salute but I'm not sure what neutral would go?? I think that a super light grey would look good, but I don't think it will go with my sofas! One is teal and the other is a mustard (more of an earthy tone as opposed to bright) and I think that a warm neutral would look better? I'm finding the whole thing headache inducing, I didn't think it would be this hard! Also the living room is north facing and I plan to make the feauture wall the one that has the patio doors if that will have an effect on how the sapphire salute looks??

Ideally I would like to avoid farrow and ball or other such expensive brands for the feature wall or the other walls. It also needs to be a durable washable paint as I have a little one.

TIA

I have it with valspar mink frost.
The while room was originally mink frost (aka what I had leftover from decorating the other rooms) and always intending on changing it, bit I really like how it looks with the blue.

It's a funny colour that pulls warm taupe in skme lights, and cool almost punky grey in others.

In the last house I had mink frost with teal soft furnishings and it worked fine too.

I have it with a very very pale grey, Colton breeze I think it was called by Dulux

My dh Is a painter and I was just having a look through his recent johnstones colour chart, some similar colours in it.

I have it as a feature wall in my living room - main light comes in from the west. I paired it with white in the end, but added a colour block of a teal blue around the fireplace. My sofa is a softer blue and my curtains are a wild rainforest print with all the blues and greens in. To be fair mine is quite out there and I was enjoying having a play with colours… it’s not to everyone’s taste.

I actually tried to bring some mustard into the scheme (so would be the same as you, teal, blue and mustard) but found the three a little jarring. I think sapphire salute, with a dash of mustard and a light grey would be a classy scheme.

Photos of mine attached (the floral chair has been moved now, even I accept too much pattern!)

Dulux White Mist is very very pale grey. Almost looks white in some light. It's a lot lighter than it looks on the colour chart.

I have it on two walls teamed with Dulux Warm Pewter in a west-facing room. And White Mist on the ceiling, which definitely looks mostly white with the tinchiest hint of grey in my house!

I love yours, Ostrom.

Paired it with white in my sons room plus another wall. It’s lovely. I think a pale grey would be fine.

I am pairing with a much warmer neutral colour than others here - Craig and Rose Fresh Plaster. Looks like its name and goes really well with both white (skiring, doors) and dark colours such as Sapphire Salute. £40 for 2.5l though…

The dulux visualiser app is quite good, if you search for sapphire salute and click on the result then on combinations, it'll give you some complementary colours. For some reason the search will bring up multiple results for sapphire salute, worth opening each one as the combinations suggested will be different. This is how I pick colours that actually tone together!
