Comments (6)Oh, that's always a tough one. I tend to go with more traditional choices and would suggest match the crown. Painting trim/molding the same color as the walls comes with caveats. Biggest one is every time you want to change wall color, you also have to paint the trim. Well, I suppose you wouldn't have to but then that's a different approach altogether. Here's a link about ceilings and trim. Specifically about painting the trim same as walls.

Comments (7)You're so wise to be thinking this through! We were having our remodel done while out-of-state, so trusted our contractor for some of these issues. Our cabinets were quite white so I chose a white trim paint to go with them and the contractor was to use it on doors, etc. Instead he used BM Atrium White telling me it was similar and a fairly standard white for trim, but not so stark and he thought it blended well with the cabinets. It is a decent white, but has a pinkish tone to it I don't care for personally and definitely does not match my cabinets or interior doors. Sadlly, it bugs me more than I care to admit to see all the trim that color right up against the whiter doors! Also it did not match any shutter color whites available--off a little there as well. I wish I had more crispness in my trim, and at least for me, would have preferred the whiter look. (Even though I have slightly buttermilk white on some furniture.) I'd love to know what you choose since that's something I often consider re-painting, but hard to justify all the work it would involve. The lighter your wall colors will be, the more you'd probably prefer a whiter white in order to have contrast. (My walls are fairly light.) Good luck!...See MoreDark baseboards and crown molding
Comments (1)I painted the walls in Wool Skein and the trim in Universal Khaki in the dining room, kitchen, back hall, and mudroom of a showhouse project. The overall look was still bright and light. I feel you do need more substantial mouldings to pull it off. The first pic is overexposed, the second is much closer to IRL....See MoreJustin Toney
