are you looking for a brand? We have used crown kitchen and bathroom a couple of times and find it applies well and is touch and "cleanable"

Yes, a brand, sorry .

If anyone wants to recommend an off-white but not magnolia colour too that would be a bonus.

We had dulux natural calico in our old house (sitting room, not kitchen though) and it looked lovely. Didn't know they did a kitchen one - its not on my paint chart. Will look tomorrow.

Does it stand up to condensation etc?

its just the normal one not the kitchen one but I'm sure they do it in kitchen as well. Our kitchen gets really steamy as we don't have an opening window in there and its not always practical to open the door, so far its handling it nicely. I've scrubbed it with CIF as well and it's survived that.

That's pretty good. I've made the mistake of using non-kitchen paint in a kitchen in the past and it all flaked off in condensation hot spots.

I have Homebase own brand Caramel Cream in our kitchen. The normal one, not the kitchen one. It has been on for about 4 years and has not flaked at all, it has been fab!
