Paint to go with dulux overtly olive?

Repainting my room and struggling a bit with all the choices! It's a southeast facing room with a dado rail along the middle dividing the walls into two halves. Going for a cosy calming vibe so have settled on overtly olive for the bottom, but having trouble with the top half! Any recs for a warm beige/ white with brown undertone paint? Can't afford f and b, looking at dulux and crown atm.

Not sure if egyptian cotton will be too dark, liked natural hessian on the website but worried it will look too pink with the green. Any ideas?

I’d be inclined to do the whole wall olive and have the dado rail white. That’s assuming it’s a light room?

Farrow and ball Joa’s white?

You could have it colour matched which would make it cheaper. Not sure if it will have too much depth for your preference though, if you’re unsure about Egyptian cotton.

I did think that but the olive looks a bit darker than expected on the bottom half so I'm worried the room will look too dark, plus my furniture is all a warm wood, if I had white furniture I think I'd be more inclined

Might be overthinking it now though! Been looking at paint samples day in day out haha

On the Dulux website they have sugestions of which colours go with your colour see Here for overtly olive, bone china looks like it might suit you.

Tried it in the hallway and it's far too dark. Only option is a light cream or off white.
