Contrasting trim or contrast trim is when baseboard trim, door casings and interior doors are painted a darker color than the walls.

Painting baseboard and window trim the same color provides consistency but it's not a rule.

This really allows the trim color to stand out and have a moment, instead of competing with the wall color. Learn more

As a general rule, if you're using a warmer greige, gray or beige for the contrast trim, pick a white with a slightly warm undertone.
