Slightly off topic - paint color question

Cross posted this in paint but don't know how much action that board gets so I figured I would try here as well since the reason we need to paint is from redoing the kitchen.

The three benjamin moore colors that run pretty much through my entire house are turtle green, brunswick beige and shaker beige. What color would you recommend with these colors for crown and base moldings and trim? Totally stumped here and the painter (of course) needs an answer yesterday. TIA!

my go to colors for trim are always either atrium white or china white. with your colors I'd lean towards the china white.

My house is painted many colors and all our trim is BM white dove (or is it dove white?) I found that is can look "white" against some colors, such as gray or yellows, and have a slightly creamy finish against others (blue, pink.) I had china white on all my trim in my last house - it also looked great - but a little grayer but you really only noticed that when it was compared to a purer white swatch.
