Every imperfection - type of paint?

I had my walls plastered in two rooms, applied mist coat.

One room using Little Greene French pale looks amazing but the other room looks awful.

I used Dulux Hertiage York White. After the mist coat I did paint it in Little Greene paint yellow and it was not a nice colour, so wanted something brighter. So repainted in the Heritage York white.

But after using the Hertiage paint every single imperfection is showing. It would be fine if the walls were like glass but I guess with plastering you are not going to get 100% perfectly flat walls. So anywhere there is a slight unevenness it is completely highlighted, looks like dark shadows.

I used good quality Harris rollers.

Is it the colour or is the Heritage range not the best? It was fine in the dark yellow.

Of course it could be me but the other room I am very proud of.

I have given it a few coats now and the issue remains.

Low sheen paints and darker colours hide imperfections. Low sheen paints don't clean/wipe well not not suitable for high traffic areas like hallways
