Elephants breath for woodwork

Hi all,
Were moving into a 1990s 3 bed bungalow. It needs a bit of TLC but we are keeping budget and planning simple for now so just a simple paint job across the entire house.

I like the idea of painting doors and woodwork in a darker neutral, something greige but not too beige, and the walls a crisp white. I want to be able to decorate with pops of colour varying from room to room.

I'm wondering about elephants breath for the skirting and doors. Do you think it is neutral enough to allow plenty choice for bright accent colours in other rooms? Would any white work on the walls?

The only definite colour is pleat by little greene on the kitchen cabinets.

Thanks!

Have a look at Skimming Stone op, it's paler than Elephants Breath and more neutral imo.

My woodwork is all skimming stone apart from one white painted room where it looked odd. It seems to go with most colours. It's greyish beige compared to a white ceiling but a creamy white next to most darker colours.
