It depends on everything else in the room. Flooring, other walls etc. Deep blues are good for disuising TV's which is always a good thing.

It’s probably limewash. Practice on some other bricks before painting the most visible feature in your house, don’t forget limewash is corrosive so lots of safety goggles, gloves and dust sheets, with the window open…… and be prepared to apply 3 thin coats rather than one thick coat ….water it down significantly (3parts water to 1 part limewash).

Hi Em, Thought I would add our 2 cents and see if its any help. My first thought for your walls is a friendly light grey like Dulux "Silver Ash" or "Lexicon Half". It's warmer than white, but still bright and modern, making it a perfect companion for your kitchen colors. If you fancy something a bit different, how about a soft greige. Dulux "Dieskau" or Taubmans "Ashen Mist" would give your space an inviting warmth, tying beautifully with your off-white worktop and oak floor. Before you make a final decision, paint a small patch on the wall and check it at different times of day, as the lighting can change how a color looks. Enjoy the rest of your renovation journey!

If the sample picture is accurate then an off white like All White by F&B May go as Minnie suggests. Some off whites can be quite creamy. I’m also thinking whether Polished Pebble by Dulux may go? I have it in my bedroom with taupe wardrobes. I also really like good old Brilliant White.
