IMO all trim the same is a nice look and if you must keep the wood then honey oak is the safe bet to match the floors . I guess for me the big issue would be replacing the carpet with the same wood floor too.

Are you unwilling to consult the color consultant at the store where supplies are coming from because you don't trust them or because you can't afford them?
