North facing bright room - non-dark paint suggestions please

I'm looking for some colour suggestions for my north facing living room please.

It has an enormous bay window and so is quite a bright room, and most of the advice on the internet seems to assume that a north-facing room is dark. It feeds light into our middle room which is painted in F&B James White (which we love). Theres also a view from there into the kitchen which is painted in green smoke and a shaded white off-shoot that we mixed ourselves. Our hallway is painted in F&B off-white, james white and studio green.

At the moment its painted in F&B Hague Blue, which we find too dark and doesn't go with the rest of the downstairs. As the middle room gets light from this room we'd like to lighten it somewhat. The floor is mid-brown wood. As you can probably tell we like green and I'd like to avoid white if possible to make the middle room appear slightly brighter. At the moment my fave choice is F&B bone, but I've only viewed this on a cloudy day so far. Any ideas?

Not sure what to suggest...... But interested to see what others recommend!
I've gone for F&B Wevet, Strong White and Blackened for various rooms. Have north facing dining room (can be quite dark) but will be brighter when skylights go in. Im actually keeping some dark shades in because I like the cosiness.
