Off white or very pale grey for a quick freshen up?

We've just bought a house and wanted to quickly paint the bedrooms before Christmas. I like this Cotton White from B and Q or Hints of a grey here but have been put off by reviews of bad coverage.

I'm leaning towards White until I can put a bit more time into it but I wanted a chalky, antique kind of white. Has anybody used anything like this from Dulux ready mixed range? I like Vintage Chandeleir, White Handkerchief and Porcelain Doll but B&Q didn't have those in stock at my local store. Has anyone used and liked White Cotton?

I get overwhelmed by too much choice but the Dulux testers I got aren't quite right - Timeless was too yellowy for what I wanted, cornflower White was nice but I'm worried it's a bit too cold and I'm leaning towards white fir now and White Mist nice but again more grey (though nice in a wishy-washy kind of way). Oh and Dulux is on 3 for 2 at the moment so would be cheaper too.

Thank you

You can make a room feel warmer with tactile accessories in warm and cosy colours and textures - so don't worry so much about the final colour being cooler - you can soon restore the balance when it's a subtle cool - ( bit harder if it's icy cold !!) even warm wood flooring or furniture will help !

I would use Dulux trade white, great coverage and a good base until you have time to choose your colours.
