What is trending in paint colors with white trim?

10 years ago

We just moved into a new house. Most of the rooms have beautiful white crown moldings and chair rail. I came from a house with all stained woodwork. In my previous house I did a lot of deep colors and that is what I gravitate towards. Not sure what my choice in paint color will look like with white woodwork.

Any suggestions?

    Deep rich , warm colors look best with a slightly softer white, and those that are cooler tend to look best with a clean bright white, Navy, most blues, taupey beiges, many grays on the cool side of the spectrum fall into the brighter white category. Warm reds, camel, buttery yellows......just a hint of warmth in the trim white is lovely.
