Calling those who know their neutrals!

As per the title, I need someone who knows their neutrals!

I'm after something not too bright white & not too cream/magnolia. I want to be able to see it on the walls but not in your face, I just want it as a neutral backdrop to all of my other bits.
Not too cool & not too warm. Definitely nothing bluey or grey. So far tried:

F&B - dimity - too red & too dark
F&B - Wevet - too grey/cold

Dulux Jasmine White - Too yellow
Dulux Timeless - Too pale
Dulux White Cotton - Non existent
Dulux Egyptian Cotton - Too dark & green
Dulux Nutmeg White - too dark

Before I order more samples I would like to try & narrow it down to a few. I've asked F&B, they suggested Slipper Satin. Any experience of this one? What is Wimborne White like, looks too white on the sample card but they're not very helpful are they!

Any other suggestions please?

It’s creamy but not in a magnolia way. looks good against the white skirting and coving
