There are heaps of solid off-whites to go for. If your going over wood, a limewash is a good shabby-chic look. Vinyl has plastic in it so is quite durable and washes easier. Matt is a non-shiny tone, silk is a shiny tone with a sheen, and acrylic is another plasticy paint. Not sure what eggshell is - sounds like an off-white colour? For a loft space, you might want a semi-gloss to get more light in, but if you go limewash that would be matt. vinyl vs acrylic really depends on the surface and how easy you want it to clean. Best bet is to compare the paint instructions on finish, and maybe talk with the paint sales dude? And yes, stick with very light colours.
