Help with paint colors for trim work
I am building a traditional new home with a lot of wood trim though out-large crown and base, wainscoting, paneling. Should I paint the trim a true white or an off-white? And do you have suggestions of brands and colors?

Mary Poulos Interior and Exterior Design I'm not sure where you are, but I use Dunn Edwards mostly, but I do have then Ben Moore library. From Dunn Edwards, I have trimmed and used a color called Droplets lately and it looked beautiful. Whisper White has also been a good trimming color. Bothof these are a tad off of white, I would say a soft white, but usually a straight, true white is too stark for a traditional interior.

zenhome Benjamin Moore's Cloud White is a nice warm white and has been the designer's go-to white for trim and cabinets for several years now. The beauty of cloud white is that it doesn't take on any yellow, blue or pink hues when next to other colours.

Mary Poulos Interior and Exterior Design I will check that out, sounds very promising. However, I had to chuckle as my opinion is there is not a single go to color for white trim for designers, that I know of. And, I have been a designer a long time. I know there are for painting contractors. And, I am only speaking for my area, it could be different in yours.
