Paint Colour for North Facing Room

Would this colour be OK for a north/north-east facing office room? I want a calm type colour if you know what I mean. If I don't have something like this, I might just go with Timless which I already have in the hallway. https://www.dunelm.com/product/dunelm-seafoam-matt-emulsion-paint-1000185239

I would probably have thought of Timeless first in an office, but I like this colour.
What other colours (if any!) do you have in the room.

How big are your windows and do you only have windows on the north facing wall?

I'm trying to imagine it in my room, I am north facing but my biggest window is north west, and I think seafoam green would be too dark, and it wouldn't get to shine as a green so much as a slightly bluey grey.

I think something muted but in the yellow-green side of the palette may work better than seafoam.

I think it’s too cold looking

I'd go paler but green is a good choice

It's beautiful! I went for a Farrow & Ball
Green in a north facing lounge and it looks great. The only thing I'd change is to go darker. IMO, it's about having warm undertones rather than a light colour.

That green is my favourite colour and I have something similar in my east facing bedroom. But I think it will look grey in a north facing room. I’m going to do our north facing spare room in an unsugary pink, or a quiet yellow, for the warmth.It’s currently painted in timeless and looks dingy. It’s also currently occupied by my adult ds who’s been here “temporarily” for 3 years, but hey ho.

☝🏻this!
We went for farrow & ball green, "breakfast room green" I think it's called, in a north facing lounge. It's darker than sea foam but looks lovely and warm.
Going paler may brighten the room (if that's what you want) but just check the undertones are warm to avoid a cold feeling room.
