Paint colour ideas for a small east-facing bedroom with limited light

Can anyone advise on a paint colour for an east facing small bedroom 3m x 3m.
There is a small porch attached to the front of it so it doesn't get the same amount of sunshine it used to in the morning. Hence the question re paint colour. Thanks.

I'd try to avoid anything too cold or grey toned because it can end up feeling a bit flat. Go for soft warm whites, light greige or muted sand instead, even a very pale sage would work nicely imo. I'd also suggest looking at an overall possible look before painting, there are interior design apps for pc (like this one or similar online tools) where you can try different color combinations and see which ones work together best. The suggestion about the mirror is also great, definitely add it if you can, mirrors help make the space look bigger.

I think Dulux
Just Walnut is a lovely soft warm off white. I have it in an east facing bedroom.

Dulux Nutmeg White is a very light beige with a pink undertone so quite warm.

Just be careful re mirror placement. Had my son not gone upstairs and smelled smoke we could have had a major disaster. The sun struck the mirror, reflected and burnt through a curtain and burnt the window frame. I think the model Daisy Lowe had her house burnt down from sun striking a crystal door knob…
