I find mixing whites often ends up not good IMO use the same color but in a satin or semigloss sheen it will lok a bit different but no new undertones that might not work. You say one door so maybe a bit more info is this is just one room in a home

Don't try to mix whites, use one for everything and let the gloss levels create the difference

White Flour has an LRV of 87, where Greek Villa and Pure White have an LRV of 84, just slightly darker than White Flour. The undertones are also quite different with White Flour having a soft peach undertone. It will make both Greek Villa and Pure White feel dingy in comparison.
