Does this look intentional or unfinished?

9 years ago

Finally finished the closets. Ended up with wall paint that is 33% of a match to the trim.

My next project is figuring out paint color for the family room. The trim needs to be painted, as it is now unexplicably yellow, but I want it to match the rest of the house rather than introducing something else. The ceiling is also yellow.

I want white/cream walls. I've just ordered ivory sofas. The rug is sisal-look. I really don't want to paint the ceiling.

Does wall paint lighter than the trim look ok or does it look unfinished, like someone forgot to paint after the primer went on? Should I try a 66% match for the family room?
