Johnstones acrylic durable matte - mixed to whatever colour you want. Not cheap mind.

Benjamin Moore Scuff-X.

Brewers stock it, different finishes available, 'Simply White' would be a typical neutral white if that's what you're looking for.

Depends what white you want.

Tikkurila Super White, Optiva 5(5% Sheen) or the Optiva 3 Ceramic(3% Sheen)
Can be ordered direct from their site or Decorating Centre Online.

If you’re on a budget Leyland Trade Hardwearing Matt.

Maybe worth getting a specific ceiling paint (if it’s not going to be exposed to a lot of moisture) as it’ll hide any imperfections and won’t look patchy, then something scrubbable for the walls.

Dulux do a tough scrubbable emulsion for kitchens and bathrooms, we've found it fine but we're not really so messy that we need to scrub the walls!

Other major brands in the retail sheds do similar but I've not tried them.

Worth checking prices with The Paint Shed vs your local Brewers or whoever. TPS were the cheapest for us - I've used Crown Clean Extreme in a few rooms now and been very happy with it.

Last time I painted a room I used Hamilton rollers from Toolstation - can't remember if they were Prestige or Perfection though. Will have a look in the garage to see if there's a packet.
