5 Trim Colours that are not White

While browsing “Clare” paints webiste we came across a fun article about trim colours that aren’t white (you can read the full article here). We decided to write our own article with alternative paint colours available in Canada.

1. Black

While it might sound scary, black can be a great colour to paint over a brown wooden staircase railing. Black window casings and doors are a great contrast to off-white walls, and can add drama to any room.

Colour suggestions: Benjamin Moore’s “Onyx”, Sherwin William’s “Black Magic” Dulux Paints’ “Black”

2. Sage Green

Sage is all the rage — see what I did there? It’s soft, tranquil and more elegant than traditional greens.

Colour suggestions: Benjamin Moore’s “Carolina Gull”, Sherwin William’s “Svelte Sage”, Dulux Paints’ “Pale Sage”

3. Gray

Less dramatic than black, gray can trim paired with white walls can give the room sone interesting detail while keeping the overall feel bright and airy.

Colour suggestions: Benjamin Moore’s “Cement Gray”, Sherwin William’s “Repose Gray”, Dulux Paints’ “Tranquil Retreat”

4. Navy Blue

Navy blue trim can liven up old wooden trims. It adds colour while still being neutral enough not to pair with colourful textiles and decor, which makes it ideal for children’s bedrooms.

Colour suggestions: Benjamin Moore’s “Jet Blue”, Sherwin William’s “Naval”, Dulux Paints’ “Marine Waters”

5. Monochromatic Walls & Trim

This one is not a colour suggestion per say. Contrasting trim can cut the wall off and make the wall appear shorter. By painting the trim the same colour as the wall, it makes the wall appear longer and is great way to create the illusion of a higher ceiling.

What our customers are saying

“Amazing Job! Alpha & Omega painted the interior of my home and I couldn't be happier. They are reliable and professional. Matt wanted to make sure I was happy with the end result and did a walk through afterward. I highly recommend Alpha and Omega.”

“The quality of service is amazing! I am a perfectionist and the job was done completely to my satisfaction. The painter was professional, detailed, and completed the work with care. He taped and covered everything including light fixtures, and took off blinds, nails and face plates. (Some painters will only paint around blinds and light fixtures!) Even the clean up was great. Matt called me the next day to make sure I was happy and that there were no touch ups. I would definitely bring this company in again.”
