[quote=Anonymous]I hope to start paining our living room soon.  I've been painting the dining room for what seems like forever.  In the dining room there is a ton of trim work including decorative molding.  Now I really don't want to repaint the trim in the living room.   The trim work is made up of basebords, 4 in crown molding, 2 windows and a set of french doors.  I don't know the exact color of the trim, but it seems to match up best with Behr Antique white, which is like an extra creamy off-white.

I want the wall color to be pretty neutral and light.  The room is south facing and rather dark (but large).  What about painting the wall a shade or two lighter than the trim?  Or is there another direction you think I should go?  Or should I suck it up an repaint the trim?  (I'd probably repaint the trim a lighter white -- like SW alabaster, which I'm using the dining room.)

The room is currently a light, but bright blue which is making hard to visualize anything else even with the larger sample boards I made.

Thanks!
