Does it have to be Dulux?
I love Smoke Pearl by Solver or even Kitty Grey. Perhaps you could get Dulux to colour match?
We are painting our whole house with Smoke Pearl when it's finished being built. We currently have it in the house we are in right now.

I work(Ed) with interior selections and to be honest the most versatile warm white is solver intermezzo. It seems to adjust to any furnishings and complement it beautifully.
Depending on the depth of colour you want I would go full strength on the walls and half strength on the ceiling and architraves and skirting. If you want it a bit lighter go Half walls and quarter ceiling etc.

Oh and don't get dulux to colour match intermezzo... Did that once and it doesn't work.
If it has to be dulux let me know and I'll send through some other suggestions

dh loves dulux and basically refuses to do any other paint.
I've never heard of that brand that you mentioned. is it more expensive? do they have it at bunnings?

Silver and dulux are the two main brands that builders use. Not sure what bunnings stocks... If you check the solver website they should give you a list of their colour centers. I also recommend buying a few little sample pots of any colors you consider and try them on a patch of left over plasterboard. Can make a massive difference in a rooms lighting.
Dulux chalk USA is also popular.
Tbh I would try the intermezzo though from the sounds of what you want. I think solver may actually be a bit cheaper.
When I get a chance I'll check my swatches for youwhat colour furniture do you have?

The other option would be a warm grey based paint then. Solver parchment is nice.
