Dulux Bathroom paint or Dulux Trade Diamond Matt for bathroom?

Hi all,
I normally use Dulux Trade paint on all my "regular" walls/rooms, and it goes the furthest and gives the best finish.
Dulux Trade don't have a specific bathroom paint, the have their "Diamond Matt" range which can be used for bathrooms. Can anyone advise if this would be the better option to paint my bathroom, or go with regular Dulux Bathroom?
I'm looking for a light grey paint for the walls and a white ceiling, if that makes any difference?
Thanks in advance for your help.

You don't need a specific bathroom paint - eggshell would do perfectly fine.
That said we did use Zinsser permawhite on our shower room ceiling and had it tinted for the walls. It has mostly kept any mould away though we will get a bit around the top of the window likely due to cold bridging.0 -
I was advised at my Dulux trade centre to use diamond Matt in my shower room. I did and it is still looking good despite lots of moisture in there.0
