Need off white interior trim color that still looks good with white vinyl windows. I am using SW Latte on a lot of walls and SW Blonde in the Dining room.

I took a piece of the prefinished window trim to Sherwin Williams and had them tell me which of their colors matched it most closely (they can color match also). That color was a tad too gray, so I went with the next closest match.

We have SW moderate white trim with whole wheat. I love it. Really gives a warm feel. Our windows are white and I put up white wood blinds. Next to ceiling our crown blends in. If you stare at it you will see the difference but not noticeable. I can send you some pictures against my white windows and ceiling.

It sounds to me like you aren't going to be happy with any ancillary wall interruptions that don't match the trim color. Therefore, the 2 choices are you go with eveything white, or you find a color that in which you can get your switch plates, outlet plates, t-stat trim, vent grills, etc. and then match your trim color to that. Naturally, what will happen down the line is you'll install something new that's not available in that color. To be forever matchable, white is the only way to go.

Almond Vinyl Windows - need help picking interior trim color

I am having a similar problem now with exterior almond/tan vinyl windows. My home was painted 1/4 way around only and stopped them because the paint looked terrible against the faded vinyl. I have been back to the get new samples of paint to try around the windows, but I still can’t find a color that is compatible. My home was built in 78, and I think the windows are probably 90s. I bought the home in 2015. It is currently a beige color with green trim, very blah. I think I may go white, and the trim color I found matches the vinyl on the windows, called French Beige a Behr Marquee color. Then add shutters in the front, or I may need to change out all windows and then I can paint it whatever color I like.

Beige windows--Need help with interior trim and wall colors

The windows are in, so we are stuck with them. Unfortunately, we didn't know there could be an option for white inside/beige outside. My builder uses Sherwin Williams. I've just gotten home from a trip to their store to look at colors since Relaxed Khaki for a trim seemed way too dark. Now I'm looking at SW White Duck, Muslin, and Natural Choice. They all have high LRVs. They seem to work with the beige windows and with SW Wool Skein on the walls. The next issue I want to avoid is having the trim color too similar to the wall color. Do you think there is enough contrast with these colors? Any choices I should avoid?

I have SW Andersen window white. It matches my pre-finished white Andersen windows. It is a nice white. Not too stark. They don't advertise this color but it is in their system if you ask for it.
