You can get most colours matched in Dulux paints. I don’t think you need to go for brilliant white but certainly a lighter paint. We have Old School white in our hallway.
Good prep will help with things and getting a good clean ceiling and correct paint choice too. That was advice given to me from @Airhead which helped me greatly

clean ceiling
Hmmmm.... We have a textured ceiling which I wanted changed a while back, but my OH wasn't fussed. Maybe it's time to revisit that. If the ceiling is getting fucked about with it could also allow for another light in the hall in the darkest corner.
It's annoying as I'm trying to tick of every job I can on my days off before I start work, but then each of those jobs throws up something that has more admin.
It also seems silly to redecorate if we're changing the floor, but I'm not sure we want to commit the money to thst yet, so maybe I'll just crack on with prep today.

Dull question, but for a small dingy hall what colour is best?
It
iswas cheapo brilliant. I need to repaint it anyway and am going to use one of the dulux hardwearing paints. Just wondering if there's some design trick where a non-brilliant white colour will actually look bigger.There is a reasonable amount of wood work that will be done in gloss white if that makes a difference.
Cheers.
