these are your baseboards and they can
make or break the look of your entire
paint job pick the wrong color and your
trim can look dull dirty and old here
are five off whites that will take your
rooms to the next level I'm James from
the people.com and on this channel we
discuss everything related to the world
of painting and decorating from picking
the right color to refinishing cabinets
no stone is left unturned whether you're
a pro or an average Joe we got you
covered
now the word trim broadly describes all
of the molding or millwork used to frame
flooring ceilings windows or doors the
finish is just as important as the color
but I won't go into too much detail on
finishes in this video if you need more
information on which Sheen to use for
your trim check out the video in the
cards up top alright
trim color number one is decorators
white and its code is CC 20 dec Lite is
no stranger to the world of decorating
oddly enough even though it's been
popular for quite a while now it's a
known way dated decorators white
provides a modern finish with a very
slight cool feel that works quite well
with grace it's a fairly stark white
look but it still retains a soft edge so
it won't blind your eyes if you prefer
slightly warmer color schemes but don't
want to risk your wood work looking
creamy then look no further than simply
white oc1 1:7 this color has emerged in
the last year or so as being a great
choice for wood work it comes across as
white but its hint of warmth complements
the warm tones in white marble for
example the warm tone in simply white
does come from yellow so just be mindful
that it's really gonna stand out against
cooler tones on your walls which could
be a good thing or a bad thing if you
enjoy a nice cup of joe in the morning
and want to transfer that creamy feel to
your trim then give Swiss coffee a try
Oh C 45 is a more blatant take on a
warmer off-white with its deliberate use
of gray and beige Ness
Sara Lee the best choice if you're
looking for a more straightforward white
but when used in the right environment
it can tie the whole space together
perfectly for my cool color fans out
there I strongly recommend you take a
look at ice mist color code OC 67 ice
mists does have a touch of blue and
green which keeps it quite modern cool
and sleek ice mist works great paired
with other cooler tones but it can also
create a very subtle yet Pleasant
contrast with other warmer tones
throughout your room but here's the
thing sometimes you don't want to
analyze the different undertones in your
walls floors furniture throw pillows
whatever there are times where you just
need something simple and I'm not
talking about simply white again the
easiest option is the most obvious one
when you want a pure white my number one
recommendation is the pre-mixed white
otherwise known as super white pm1 or OC
152 this is the white that you'll find
pre-made in all kinds of Benjamin Moore
products whether you're grabbing paint
for your trim ceilings or even your
walls all of the Benjamin Moore cans
with white printed on them will be in
this awesome shade of white super white
is clean its straightforward and
simplistic if you're having enough
trouble picking the right wall color
then why over complicate things by
struggling with the variety of off
whites out there super white isn't going
to be the best choice everywhere but it
will likely work anywhere if you have
any trim colors that you love to use in
your projects I love to hear about them

course on the different types of
finishes check this out my friend this
