Need advice on trim and ceiling color with SW Alabaster

last month

Wondering if I could get people’s opinion on ceiling and trim color for our house, they need to be the same throughout the house.


We are building a new house with lots of western and also quite a bit of southern and eastern natural light.


Floors are light white oak.


Cabinetry is a mix of warm wood tones, off white (close to SW Alabaster), and few cabinets with specific colors (Pewter Green, Iron Ore, and Dried Thyme).


Lighting and hardware is mostly brass with some black.


Alabaster will be the main wall color for the open concept great room, primary bedroom, basement, hallway, and few bedrooms. One bedroom with north/east facing windows will have Sea Salt, one bedroom with north/west facing windows will be Pediment. The office with west facing windows will be Repose Gray. The primary bath will be light French gray walls, this is a bit of an outlier from the rest of the house because this primary bath leans more modern with cooler tones including chrome hardware.


What would you suggest for trim and doors? Alabaster would be nice for the cohesive look, but I wonder if that would clash in some locations with our selections. If we did Alabaster trim, would you also do Alabaster ceilings or something else like Highly Reflective White or Pure White for the ceiling?


The other alternative we are considering is using Highly Reflective White for the trim, doors, and ceilings. It feels like the safer choice and more traditional look, but less cohesion adding another white.
