It's time to paint the interior woodwork again and I wonder who can recommend a brand that will not yellow in the dark. Last time I used Crown 'Once' as I wanted to cover very light cream. It worked a treat but two years on it has yellowed badly in areas that get little light. I was convinced for a while that I must have forgotten the back of the coat cupboard as it is back to a darker shade of cream than before I painted it white! The hall is bad too.
Although I used Crown 'Once' last time, I prefer a liquid gloss. Have used Dulux for 40 years until the problems of two years ago. Was always pleased with the result, perhaps they have fixed it? What about Johnston's liquid Brilliant White? Their undercoat seems good.
Don't mind what brand so long as it is very glossy and stays brilliant white.
Thanks for any comments.

Water-based white gloss does not yellow.

However IMO it is not as durable or glossy as oil-based.

Your choice.

Oil-based outdoors does not yellow as the sunlight bleaches it.
 
JohnD is right, i have found sikkens to be better in this whole yellowing fiasco, but as said it really does need to be water based / alkyd hybrid to avoid premature yellowing. I've found the best solution to be sikkens BL satura which is a satin
 
Thanks for the advice, but can't stand water base. Have used satin wood water base on some window ledges and no matter how hard I try, and I'm no beginner at painting, can't eliminate brush marks.
Perhaps they are better at applying now.
I would prefer gloss oil base for the doors etc. but will go out & have a look at Sikkens.

Thanks Ignicolas, not sure of your point?
Nice under stairs ideas though on that website, although I now see the link has been removed.
