What is the best white paint to feature in a contemporary kitchen

I went for a Matt finish but in a kitchen one coat paint. It's completely your preference though and a silk might be better to clean? I'm just lazy and buy the same paint for the whole house so it's easy to repaint down the line

Not grey white, that's also cold. Brilliant white is a white with extra blue added, so that is cold to very cold depending how much blue was added. You want a white which is slightly tinted yellow instead. I suggest you try a tester of Dulux 'Timeless' which is available in a kitchen paint and also B&Q's 'Antique White' which is a premium paint which can be washed if stuff splashes on it. The Dulux kitchen paint can be washed too, and probably has better stain and grease resistance. How important the stain resistant aspect is depends on how you use your kitchen and how close to the cooker and sink you're painting, but I would always go for a washable paint in a kitchen. A specialist kitchen paint is better. You'll just have to see if the whites will go together - that's what testers are for. Also, all the grey in a North-facing kitchen will be making it look darker and colder. You might consider choosing another colour for your painted wall in the dining area. I know grey is 'in' right now but that doesn't mean it works well everywhere and anywhere.

White paint doesn’t look white

Does your paint need a good stir? I had something similar happen using Matt Dulux recently. The paint was watery rather than its usual creamy consistency and went on like a blue varnish rather than paint. After a good stir it thickened up and went on a treat with the usual 2 coats doing the job.

Truly white paint

IF those panels looked ‘white’ out of the bathroom, but lilac-ish inside, they are likely a white colour from the end of the Yellow-Red Hue Family, beginning of Yellow. Neutral colours are prone to colour shift lilac/purpleish from this region, if the inherent light (either daylight or elecy) spikes more in blue-violet wavelengths. If the purple cast is more evident in artificial light, as mentioned above - Check out the Kelvin value of the bulbs. Lots of discussion elsewhere on Houzz that 4000K is required to help colours look ‘more true’ but that’s only part of the story. Using bulbs which declare a CRI or Colour Rendering Index value of 90+ will help colours render more accurately. That info is not available on all light bulbs but can be found on some.
