Every oil based paint I've used since the new EU regs a few years back have turned a nasty cream after a few months of sunlight exposure.

Taken to using acrylic water based paint for all interior wood which is great but I've now got to do some exterior painting and would normally have used aluminium>oil undercoat>oil top.

I'm less confident water based paint will stand up to the elements but at the same time I want white not cream!

Any recommendations appreciated.

Oil based paints yellow because of a lack of UV light. Sunlight prevents exterior paint from yellowing.

My preferred paint is the oil based Dulux Trade Weathershield (not the retail version- if it doesn't say Dulux Trade, then it is Dulux retail)
 
How about satin finish, builder used dulux white gloss back in 2016 and already i can see a tinge of yellow appearing.

I have used white gloss, and its fine but does not produce a nice finish but still looks white after a few years and easy to put up n clean, will dry quickly as well.
