Hallway, stairs and landing - paint colour ideas?

Hi, looking for some ideas on colours for our hallway, stairs and landing. The area is window-less so pretty dark, would love to have a light colour to lighten it up but also worried about marks if it's too light.So somewhere in the middle!

We've chosen a mid-dark grey carpet for the stairs and landing, and hallway floor will be a light grey oak.

Looking for something neutral-ish, dark enough to not get dirty quickly but light enough to make it a bit brighter, that will go with the grey flooring and white woodwork. Hope I'm not asking too much :)

FYI we have Dulux polished pebble in bedrooms, love it but wanted something different for the rest. Also think it may be a bit too light for a high impact area.

Thanks!

We did our hall in the ever-popular Egyptian Cotton last year. I love it. We chose the Endurance type that has withstood lots of traffic (namely DS9 and his thumping about.

We have a very pale grey. We used a sheen paint as it reflects light and makes the hallway look lighter (ours also has no natural light). It's also wipe clean. I have endurance matt in other rooms and it wipes down ok but not as well.

Thanks both. Egyptian Cotton is on my list but I'm worried it will look a bit on the browner side and won't go with the grey flooring. What colour flooring do you have with yours Vagndidit?

Titsy is a sheen paint the same as eggshell/satin?
