Translucent / Loose Powder for v pale skin a that doesn't go orange

Looking for recommendations for the above, please
I used to use Clinique Blended Powder Transparency 1 but this was discontinued and their supposed replacement Transparency 20(?) goes orange on me, and Invisible Blend is grey and makes me look grey and corpse-like

I've tried NARS Light reflecting loose powder (OK, but nil coverage)
Kat Von D Lock it (yellow)
Laura Mercier (settled into lines and colour slightly pink)
Lily lilo (dried my skin out and felt bitty on my skin)

Someone recommended No 7 translucent loose powder - anyone?
Anyone tried the Guerlain one?
Estée Lauder and Lancôme don't look pale enough - I want a pale colour and some coverage so I could use it alone / over concealer if I wanted to.

Recommendations and thought, please? I am 1.0NS in the Ordinary Foundation, if you want a comparison for how pale I am, and have neither a yellow or pink tone to my skin.

The No7 translucent is a bit yellow for me. I use the Clinique Blended Powder in transparency 2. It's pink, but works fine for me. The invisible blend makes me look grey too!

Rimmel Stay Matte translucent. Bought in an emergency but I'll never go back to Nobbi Brown again.

Dragonfly "Nobbi Brown" Was that a deliberate typo? Grin

Lol @ Nobbi Brown! :)
I bought the No 7 one, and the Lancôme lady persuaded me to give their Poudre Majeur Excellence in Translucent a go. Used the Lancôme one this morning and it's a teeny bit pink but so far so good ....until I searched for it and found it too is discontinued Angry

If neither of these are any good I'm going to get a sample of the Chanel one, it looks pretty good. And thank you all for your suggestions.
It seems I'm not alone in mourning the Clinique Blended Transparency 1 !
Are you listening, Clinique? !
