Paint for shower room

Not so long ago I used my Leyland gloss for the woodwork in the en suite.
It's going yellow now. Other than this I have had great success around the house with it, is smooth and hard paint.
Can anyone recommend a decent paint please?

All white gloss now turns yellow as a result of an EC Directive changing the formula. If you. Want something to stay white, you need to use Satinwood.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0

Only oil based gloss has that problem.
Johnstone's Aqua Gloss which I've used and has good reviews doesn't have that problem.

They have just introduced a Satin Aqua paint which I hope to try.0 -
Thanks guys

The paint you link, does that go smooth easy enough?
This Leyland paint takes days to dry, but you can brush and brush and it goes smooth as silk.0 -
This is water based, anyone used it? Reviews seem ok: http://www.screwfix.com/p/leyland-trade-satin-fast-drying-paint-white-2-5ltr/88133#
Leyland do a satinwood, as mentioned, but it's still oil based, so will still yellow?0
