I think it is quite lovely as is. It's hard to see the grasscloth ceiling in the photo, but I really like the contrast with the pale oak. I would also explore the next level up of pale oak to see what that would look like. I imagine if you went with the Alabaster that the ceiling might stand out more or draw the eye up, but goodness that would be a lot of white. A dilemma to consider is how to finish the archways where two different colors would meet.

I like it as is; my suggestion if you really want to paint is to continue with the trim color ( is that alabaster?) in eggshell finish.

I would keep some existing contrast with wainscoting. I am afraid it would blend with Alabaster.

What color did you use for the trim and wainscoting?

What color is your trim next to the pale oak? and what did you end up picking for walls?

I love your beautiful hallway “as is”.
