Can anyone suggest a paint colour? I'm looking for a vintage light blue/green shade

It's for my kitchen. I don't want duck egg. It can be vibrant and bright as the kitchen is a kitchen/diner and everything else in it is grey/white. However, I do want it to be easy on the eye and not too deep a shade. On paper, I liked the Craig and Rose Porcelain blue. I've tested it in several spots and it looks more blue. It's a lovely colour but not exactly what I was hoping for. I think I want a colour that's similar to the ice blue kitchen aid mixer! Can anyone suggest a paint colour like that?

Brighton or Turquoise Blue by Little Greene?

What about Crown Soft Khaki. When you say blue/green I think of eau de nil - Laura Ashley do an emulsion that colour.

Eau de nil is too green but I'll look at Laura Ashley paints as I had forgotten about those. I love the Little Greene turquoise colour - a slightly lighter shade of that would be perfect. The problem with the kitchen is it's a kitchen diner. I need a colour near the units that is vibrant enough to contrast white and grey tiles/units/worktop. But the dining area has one bare, large expanse of wall and I am worried that too dramatic a paint on that is going to be too in your face.

Incidentally, I'm looking for a colour for my daughter's bedroom too. I keep finding really nice colours in the Wilkinsons paint ranges. Are their paints awful? Better or worse than Dulux? I really don't like working with Dulux or regard the finish very highly.
