My pick would be SW 7102 White Flour. Both colors are from the yellow hue family, and they have enough contrast that you will be able to tell them apart from a distance.

I love the photos that Beth posted of the trim darker than the walls. That was the norm in the 80s when we purchased our home, but fell out of style in favor of lighter trim. It's a very pretty look that allows you to have some color in the room without it being overwhelming.

Thank you all for your excellent recommendations. I am sorry for the delay in response, I have been attempting to insert some photos with no success. My house is a Craftsman built around 1912. The dining room is at the front of the house with windows facing east and south. Unfortunately, trim was painted and at this point, I am unable to refinish it so I will be painting it.

Thanks again for your great ideas and the time you took to respond.

lynn, try them here in comments. wait for it to fully load before hitting submit

Thank you, Beth, it worked this time. Hallelujah!

have you ever tried a heat gun or stripper ? ( SoyGel is a good one)

I'd really want to remove those caked on paint layers before painting again.

And with the heat gun, you may be able to ge tall the way down to wood. yes it's a bit of work.

Or do you just want to layer on another coat of paint?

if so, try some of the recommendations I posted. if you want white trim, then do a nice white with no yellows or taupes. just a basic white trim.

Cool windows!

Thank you, Beth, you've got me thinking about removing the current paint and getting back to the wood finish. The only problem I foresee would be trying to match the stain on the existing 100-year-old shellac trim but maybe it doesn't need to. Any thoughts?

matching it to what? when you strip, you're going down to raw wood. You can easily match any stain color that's on the other wood in the house, if that's what you want.

I'm thinking I will give it a try. Thanks so much for helping me!

remember, with each coat of paint on there, the stripper removes only one. so if you have 5 coats of paint, that will be 5 coats of stripper, one after the other. I like SoyGel because it doesn't have the harsh chemicals. the best part is it wipes clean with water. the others require another chemical after-strip wash.

heat gun, takes patience and time. again, you'll have to go through each layer. get a metal putty knife/spatula and a hard plastic one.

Beth, is the picture you posted with the gray door and frame the color Pavestone ? It made me swoon.

I’m so glad White Duck worked out for you. I love it and wanted into use it but it was way too yellow on my walls (even with 3000k lights).

azgirl,,,,,,3000K lights are the reason any white looks yellow. you need at least a 4000K bulb.

Just tried White Duck on our walls, and it's very yellowish--almost a light brown. So weird to see it looking light gray-green in some photos.

yes, white duck is not white. it's almost a tan. Look at it next to Alabaster (which is a creamier white).

If you don't have a very bright room w/lots of natural light, this shade is going to look very dingy.

I'm looking for a neutral gray/off-white with an LRV of 70-75 that doesn't read purple (many grays and grieges do!), blue, or pink. I don't want a throwback to "builder's taupe."

And after seeing White Duck on the wall in my house, I'd definitely characterize it as tan. In photos online, it looks like a warm off-white with a hint of green. In my house, it's brownish beige. I might have liked it 20 years ago.

have you tried Eider White? It's prob one of the few whites that lean neutral gray.

this one has a bit more yellow

Crushed Ice has a bit more gray than white.

Definitely will look at those! Thanks!

SW Frosty White is a very nice grayish white.

I went to the Sherwin Williams store today. Crushed Ice and Frosty White are definite contenders.

Thanks for the suggestions!

@vjwilkinson I am wondering which color you went with? I have been looking at White Duck too and it is looking dingy and yellow-y on my large wall sample!

The rooms we were painting don't get a lot of natural light, and we thought White Duck looked too brown and too dark. We went with Benjamin Moore Intense White instead. Trim is Benjamin Moore Super White.

Great to know, @vjwilkinson - thank you!

The problem is that a lot of websites that discuss paint colors often use photos of rooms that have soaring ceilings and get a ton of natural light. Rooms in the real world don't always have those attributes.
