Tricky...for whiteness look for a 'brilliant white'...not the standard white but stick to denct well known brands...'white' should have a bs number 00-e-55 ......there isnt a british standard for brilliant white so in effect they can use cheaper pigments and it wont be very white at all.

Having been involved in business with somebody who sells raw materials to the paint industry I can tell you that there is massive variation in quality and it is possible to make a nice thick looking paint with very little of any use in it at all, just fillers and thickeners.
One of the costliest materials is the titanium dioxide, which would explain your findings.
We buy our paint from Little Greene Paint Co and although it's not cheap the quality is superb.
