Trim Colors
For white paint colors, the best option is to use the same color for the walls and for the trim. Just choose a different finish for tone-on-tone contrast.
So, choose Bit of Sugar in eggshell finish for the walls and Bit of Sugar in semi-gloss for the trim. This gives a nice, soft finished look.
