Grey/white/cream paint ideas for bedrooms

Hi, I currently got my living room, hallway, stairs and landing painted in Dulux Pebble Shore, which I love. I was planning to do my 3 bedrooms in the same colour too but now wondering if that will be a bit boring/samey lol.

The master bedroom is North facing so fairly dark (walls are currently a light beige colour, but also have dark brown built in wardrobes and dresser which also make the room darker I think).

I was thinking to go with a creamy white like Dulux Timeless or Fine Cream on the walls, and then maybe a mid grey for the wardrobes/dresser. Would prefer a cream that is not too yellowy.

The other rooms are South facing, but will probably look to paint in the same colour as the master for continuity. (I prefer the neutral look, then jazzing things up with furnishings etc)

I'm also sort of contemplating a very light pink on the walls, but keep going back and forth in my mind about that thinking it might look/feel too girly haha.

Just wondering if anyone has used these particular shades and/or have any suggestions for what to try, and have any photos to share for inspiration please?! I've got testers on various walls but still finding it hard to decide what to do!

Thanks in advance :-)

Dulux Egyptian cotton is lovely. It’s a sort of griege colour. F&B elephants breathe is similar (I’d get a colour match from Johnstones though).

If you do brave the pink, then F&B calamine is a very pale pink. If you’re on Facebook, I’d recommended looking at some of the F&B fans pages and searching for those colours. There will be lots of photos, and they usually say if it’s a north or south facing room etc.

Thanks so much, I’m not on Facebook so not able to look on there properly though some images have shown up when I’ve done a search

I’m not sure about greige type colours, I feel like they might be a bit drab? I do like the F&B calamine though, guess I just need to decide whether to go for a pale pink look or creamy white. Thanks!
