North facing bedroom

We've moved to a new home with a north facing bedroom. The curtains are a duck egg blue, and we have a patterned duck egg blue wallpaper behind our bed, with blue/white walls. These people loved duck egg bloody blue - it's been in four rooms and we've painted over it! We will probably need to keep the curtains (Laura Ashley not my bag but neutral, good quality and new), and the 'feature wall', but want to get rid of the blue paint on the walls. I'd ideally like a warmer pale blue if there is such a thing...????

I have tested both of these F&B colours in a north facing room, pale powder comes out more green and cabbage white is a very pale blue, sorry but I found both looked quite cold in the north light.

North facing rooms are the hardest. I would just paint the whole room white with one wall in darkblue-almost black

Try a white that has some yellow in it. In fact the F and B website has recommendations for whites for north facing rooms.
In extremis you could just paint over the duck egg wallpaper.
