Why not another color than white which is less of a contrast to your natural wood trim? I have three thoughts, all of which to keep in mind approximating the Tone of your natural wood: 1) if your walls are papered pick a color from the paper (or shade darker than the back ground,) if painted go a shade darker than the paint I assume that the paper or paint looks good against the natural door trim so why not a color from it? 2) Assuming that the wood has some varying tones to it, choose a middle range toward the dark of the woodwork and paint the baseboard that color. 3) Apply above ideas to what ever your floor is like. Before doing the whole thing buy a quart and either paint just a few feet of baseboard around the big door you are most worried about or paint some poster board strips and put them along there. Leave for a couple of days to decide. Goodluck and post pics, I'd love to see what you decide. (Ps my apologies if I forgot what you said about your walls, so many posts!) Lauren, I love your hall color, just painted my living room /dining room that color (with ivory trim). kathy

I have used Greek Villa for ceilings and Extra White for trim in every room in my last three homes. Two were in Nevada with lots of windows and sunshine and one a townhouse in Maryland with limited number of windows and cloudy weather as well as sunny. The colors have looked great in all of them. I find Greek Villa as “quiet” and the Extra White as a clean “pop.” (I have a very light beige Colony Buff on the walls but I think Greek Villa would go with grays and other colors as well.)

Thanks for sharing the pictures! They’re all beautiful. I’ve actually just made plans to do the opposite of the advice, so we’ll see what happens. With our west facing bedroom, the colors look either too dark and harsh on 2 of the walls, or too light and faded. So we’ll be using Greek Villa and Natural Choice on alternating walls. I’m only doing my 11 year old daughter’s room. She wants a boho style room, and we have a terracota colored comforter and wood accent pieces ready. We don’t want to have to repaint trim in just one room, so those will stay with Behr’s Ultra Pure White like the rest of the house. Maybe I’ll share some pics when it’s finished. Wish me luck!

Look at Meadow Mist OC-134/936 which is lighter and warmer than November Rain. Or Spring Bud 520 which is close to the same LRV as November Rain, but is warmer (has a little more yellow and less gray). I had Spring Bud in my bedroom in my previous house. That room didn't get a lot of light and the color always looked good. I don't know how either one of those will look with the gray backsplash. If that's a cool blue-gray it might be a challenge to find a warmer wall color that looks good with it.
