A white wall paint with bluish/greyish undertone

I do not mean a white paint with a hint of these colours. Just one which has those colours as its base. I do not want something with yellowish undertones eg Timeless. You see I got caught out once with curtains. They seemed grey in the evening but during the day had a distinctly bluish colour. Just starting out on a diy project and useless. Thank you very much

The F&B website has quite a lot of detail on the undertones in their different whites.

If going with dulux etc I would go with the "cleanest, coldest" white if you want blue. Whitening laundry detergent often has blue enhancers to make the whites look whiter :)

F and B Cornforth White. Ammonite or Wevet too.

Dulux White Cotton!

Dulux white cotton or Mylands Greenwich mean time, which is a white with a blue undertone.

Dulux white cotton looks grubby on a wall, get a tester pot and try it on each wall you are going to paint because it looks different depending on the light and your lighting.

I am trying to find a white with a touch of blue and that is not the one for me.
