What colour paint for a hallway?

Our landlord has offered to buy the paint for us to paint our hallway and landing - at the moment it's a very pale minty green which shows up every scuff imaginable with two kids and a clumsy DP. It's reasonably light with light coming from the door, a big window on the landing and from the sitting room as the door is permanently open! We have white gloss skirting boards/staircase and hall furniture.

I love aqua tones and I've been looking at colours on the dulux website and I'm umming and aaring over whether these colours would work.

www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=110&storeId=10151&partNumber=644120

Do you think any of these would work?

I probably like the home base one best but would veer in the direction of Kevin Macleod Blue Grass of Armamantum Sea

Teal tension

Teal is lovely. Looks like the colour the family in 'modern family' have their hallway, which I always wish my hallway was big and bright enough for.
Ours is a soft pebble grey, but just so you know I think marks show up whatever the colour unfortunately.

I prefer the teal.

odd one out here but I like the sea blue!

have a quick look at Topaz Blue by Little Greene.

I have the sea blue in my hallway and it's lovely.

It still shows up scuffs and marks though!

Thank you all - my only concern is that I don't want to pick a colour that is too dark - do you think these will be ok?
