White that's not brilliant white

I'm looking for a nice white that's not as stark as brilliant white and which has some warmth in it. It's for two spaces - one a room that is south facing and bedrooms that are darker and north facing, hence the warmth aspect. Can anyone recommend a Dulux or Crown paint colour please?

Dulux Timeless is always my default white that's isn't glo white. I also prefer the quality of Dulux over Crown.

Consider getting F and B Wimborne white colour matched by crown? It’s a lovely white.

Dulux white cotton is nice and soft looking in a south-tagging room.

We have Dulux White Cotton in a dark room, its a nice chalky sort of white.

Dulux timeless here- builder renovating said it was their go-to for older houses

Thanks all, that’s really helpful. I’ll get some samples!

Dulux timeless for the darker rooms. I've used it in my kitchen and it's perfect. I quite liked Dulux white mist but it was a little grey in the kitchen but could be worth a try in a south facing room.

I like dulux jasmine white, I have it in my north facing bedroom and find it light but not stark.

Another vote for Dulux timeless. It’s a real hero shade - I use it everywhere for “white”, including ceilings and woodwork.

I have B&Q Antique white in my kitchen diner, it's white but not brilliant white. And Dulux Sail white is quite good but a little bit more towards cream.
