Some great suggestions there. I did stop at Valspar but my children were being so annoying I couldn't look properly. I think Sonnet pictured above might be quite close to what I'm picturing. I'm going to nip to fandb too and see what they've got as now it's mentioned a colleague used Callamine on her bedroom and I liked it. It's for our new house that we're completing on in a few weeks. We weren't going to do our room until last but I think we're going to decorate it sooner. As we're having a lot of remodelling at the back of the house so I thought. Fuck it. Why not

I love the Farrow and Ball pinks - Sulking Room, Calamine, and Cinder Rose (got them colour matched because not paying that much just for paint obviously)

Try Benjamin Moore’s “Sonnet.” It didn’t make a tremendous impression on me in the store but swatched on my wall it was a perfect greige pink. It looks nothing like the sample online. I do second guess a lot of decisions but this was not one of them 
This is how the color appears in real life:

I’ve got Dulux Blush Pink in my bedroom, it’s like a beigey pink.

Yes we painted a bedroom in Little Greene Paint Company's Hellebore. It's a dusky pink with violet and grey undertones.

Valspar at b&q have some lovely colours. They have some adult pinks and purples. I have had Twilight bloom in the past which is a greyish pink. Dont just look at the pink section either as often you can find colours with hints of pink to them. Also if you find anything with the colour you like they will match it, my dad had the tiniest chip of paint from a wall and they matched that.

Also if you happen to like a farrow and ball colour, just take the colour swatch(they accept pictures too) and they will make it in Valspar.
