SW Dover White Walls and ......????

I apologize for another paint thread, but I have searched the Houzz forum and cannot find an answer, since Dover White seems to be used as trim more often than walls.


New construction, walls will be SW Dover White (6385) satin, and I want a white trim in semi-gloss. I am concerned about picking the right white, because I don't want the Dover to look "dirty." I think I want a nice, bright white to show the difference between the whites. Would Extra White (7006 ) work for the trim?? Other SW suggestions??


For the ceiling, would it be okay to use Dover White for those, too?? Or should they be a brighter white?? May it be the satin finish, or go for flat?? I know ceilings should be flat, but I get 4 or 5 paints total for the whole house, so I am trying to be strategic.


Will satin be okay for bathroom?? Or should I use a semi gloss for baths??


Thank you for any advice offered!!!
