White and Off-White Paint Colors: Designer Favorites for Trim
To choose a trim paint color, consider the undertones in your wall color. Pale taupey-white walls (Monterey White) might not look great with pale gray trim (China White).
Also consider whether you're going for high or subtle contrast. If it's the latter and white trim doesn't appeal to you, try painting the trim the same color as the walls, in a semi- or high-gloss formula.
You can also mix your own trim color: ask the folks at the paint store to mix a quart of your wall color to 25% or 50% strength.
The colors above are designers' top picks for trim, plus bestselling trim colors, all by Benjamin Moore.
Top row: 1. White Dove, 2. Monterey White, 3. China White, 4. Barely Beige, 5. Acadia White.
Middle row: 6. Bone White, 7. Atrium White, 8. Rich Cream, 9. Linen White, 10. Super White.
Bottom row: 11. Mayonnaise, 12. Cloud White, 13. Decorator's White, 14. Ivory White, 15. Seashell.
