Help me choose my Farrow and Ball

I’m drowning in paint choice and need perspective! Trying to decide which neutral to use in our halls and entryway. Looking at Cornforth White, Ammonite and Strong White. Pics below (sorry, still an building site!). Am I barking up the wrong tree with greige? The house is quite modern. Should I be going for a really lovely crisp white instead? Or maybe something a bit moodier? Pics below of options and the flooring that will be there (entryway hasn’t been tiled yet—forgive the building site!). Any opinions appreciated!

Whoops meant Strong White
I have it in the living room and really like it

You could also look at Wevet. It’s a very light grey/white and reflects light very well. Some greys in the F&B palette and quite blue/mauve. I would tend to avoid these but we have used Cornfirth White successfully and a warm grey is Elephants Breath. That looks stunning with white woodwork.

Yes BubblesI’ve been looking at Elephant’s Breath! I’m not sure if it might feel quite brown in the space though...? I guess the only way is to try it out on the walls.

For reference, our neighbours have chosen the same tile as us (different layout but similar space-wise), and they’ve just used a colour that’s a warm greige, though in the room it looks tiniest bit green to me! But still nice. Not sure if I want to go lighter/darker/cleaner. Thoughts?

I really like your neighbour's colour....

I think its too samey. Personally I would avoid anything greyish on the walls if your floors are to be grey. If you want a cosy feel, look for warmer colours. Elephant's Breath is an awesome colour but still too grey for what you are after I think.

To be fair those walls of the neighbours don't even look like they've been painted they look rhe same as yours now.

I'm mid painting the bathroom in Ammonite and it's beautiful, I stepped back from Cornforth White my original choice as it was too grey. Do it, you won't regret it. My bedroom in Wevet and although beautiful it is white unless you know otherwise. Your walls need to be perfectly smooth, Ammonite is a very unforgiving colour
