Paint suitable for bathroom

Hi all, can anyone recommend a really good paint that will last in a high-moisture environment please? I did tons of research before buying the paint that I used in my bathroom, it’s been 5/6 weeks and it’s already starting to peel off and form bubbles. I was looking for a specific shade of forest green but it looks like specialist bathroom paint only comes in a basic set of colours, if so I’d be happy to settle for white.
Many thanks in advance

I used acrylic eggshell from Decorating centre online and can colour match to any shade.

Or even more hard-wearing, you could use zinsser Perma White. Despite the name you can get that colour matched as well.

I have Zinsser Permawhite https://www.zinsseruk.com/product/permawhite-interior/ it comes in a tintable base if you want colour. It's been up over a year and a half, lots of steamy showers and looks as good as the day it went up.

I think it's all in the prep.

We have Little Green intelligent eggshell. It's been brilliant, but our decorator spent more time on wall prep and undercoats than he did on putting the colour on.

Bathroom paints need a really decent undercoat to adhere to. And a low moisture environment before applying the paint and for a day or two after application to let everything set and settle.
