Default High solids / good coverage emulsion

I've got a couple of yellow rooms to paint. What's the best covering white
emulsion I can get for a reasonable price?

Given that the real cost is your time I would go for a decnt brand e.g.
Dulux/Crown. White is pretty cheap in the sheds - I think I paid less than
£10 for 10litres a week or so ago.

What ever you do don't waste your money on a cheap brand - I covered a
dark(ish) blue with one coat of white and a single coat of Daffodil white
last week.

Farrow and Ball.

about twice the covering power for about +50% on the price.
