white trim that would compliment origami white

3 years ago

I painted my kitchen, living , hall area in origami white. Originally was using Valspar ultra white on trim and doors until I got to the hallway ( limited lighting so you can really see the stark contrast) I hate that it makes the origami look beige! Any suggestions on a Good not so bright white for trim and doors?

My whole house is sw origami white with sw untinted white as the trim. What color temperature are the lights in your hall? My lights are all 3000k and none of my walls look green.

Use origami white in a higher sheen.
