Why everyone has white trim and colored walls?

[Anonymous]

It looks like everyone has white trim and colored walls . Why? Are people not that creative or what? Why not play with the color of the trim vis-a-vis the walls? Or have trim painted with different colors depending on the wall color? Or a bold (or, alternatively, pastel) color for both trim and wall?

And why semigloss trim? One could play with different textures, not just semigloss. It looks like a religion, "thou shall have white semigloss trim."

Yep, I have pale pastels on my walls and ceilings and glossy cream trim.

That's how I like it.

Ah. Yay! So you're that person when I am looking through listings and think to myself "what the hell were they thinking?" Nice to finally meet you! Tell me more about yourself.

Because I like the way it looks and the semi gloss is easy to clean.

Frankly, I consider myself lucky that I managed to convince my husband to put any color up on the wall.

Because repainting all the trim each time I want to change a wall color would be a nightmare.

^ that looks nice but the large majority of people don't have the type of home or decor to pull that off.

Semigloss is better for the wood trim, no?

The tacit point is that humans can try something other than white trim, as exemplified by the picture.
