main house pain and trim .

last year

Hey guys, I am painting my house & am struggling to select a neutral paint and trim color to go with my slate stained hickory floor.
The floor is naturally a blonde wood & I can see slightly warm under Lorne’s yet it seems to look terrible with warm off whites.

I selected white dove wall / trim & will do some mill work / lockers in revere pewter . Thoughts ?

Those colors actually lean more gray which is a cooler tone than your floors. I would go in an off-white direction instead. Take a look at Benjamin Moore's Sail Cloth OC-142:

I would probably go with Simply White for the trim or possibly Chantilly Lace. Here's Simply White:

Here's Chantilly Lace:

P.S. We painted the walls Sail Cloth with Simply White trim in this kitchen, so you can see what it looks like. Not as dark as the sample pic would suggest:

I would not paint a contrasting trim color... all the same color, different sheen (they will look different)

I would stay away from gray, of the options shown, the Lancaster whitewash gets my vote.

The BM White Dove in your photo looks gray ... that is not what it looks like on the wall for the majority of people. Look up recent posts with titles similar to "white dove looks yellow in my house".

I used BM White Dove on the walls with BM Chantilly Lace trim and White Dove is definitely yellow.

I like the Edgecomb Gray better with your floor sample. You need to move on to larger samples (Samplize.com), or paint large swathes of the colors on boards to move around the room so you get a better idea of how these colors will look in your environment. Lighting is so important as far as how we perceive color.

Sorry but why white at all I do not find whites very neutral usually they all have very sidtinct undertones that can change rapidly in differnt light forsure. I use this BM color cut 50% it has a hint of color looks awesome with all wooda and IMO a true neutral like nature . I usually do a nice pure white trim with it like Decorators white the walls matte the trim semi gloss or satin
