10 Paint Colors That Blend Beautifully With Natural Wood Trim

Sherwin-Williams Ice Cube

The stunning home shown above from oakolivestudio feels open, airy, and a little bit vintage in the best way in part to the color wall paint. Greige is a perfect choice to pair with wood trim because it looks fresh and organic but not stark, and keeps the wood trim from feeling too dark. Sherwin-Williams' Ice Cube (SW 6252) is a light gray with slightly cool undertones which looks lovely against dark wood trim. Should you ever want to paint your trim white, this versatile paint color also works beautifully with light colors.

The Spruce Best Home Macrame Beige

The right beige can play well with natural wood trim to create a warm, calming space. The Spruce Best Home's Macrame Beige (SPR-05) has a creamy yellow undertone that pairs well with the warmth of natural wood.

Benjamin Moore Vapor Trails

We love Benjamin Moore's Vapor Trails (1556) because it's a cool grayish-green paint that looks almost white in rooms where natural light is abundant. When painted next to natural wood trim, the soft green undertones shine through. It's a perfect choice for a bedroom or an office that could use a little pop of color that isn't overwhelming.

Behr Snow Fall

Behr's Snow Fall (W-F-600) is a lovely neutral white shade that is perfect for lightening up any home and works well with dark gray trim to the darkest brown wood trim. It doesn't have harsh cool or warm undertones, and because it lacks any yellow, it's perfect for toning down a yellowish wood trim. We love this white for a bedroom because it's soothing and not stark.

Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace

If you have a lot of warmth in your natural wood trim and want to tone down any of the orange hues, you'll love Benjamin Moore's Chantilly Lace (OC-65). This crisp, clean, and cool white paint has soft blue undertones and adds a lot of visual interest and high contrast against dark wood trim.

Valspar Du Jour

If you want to play up the warmth in your wood trim, go for a warm paint color that brings out the reds and oranges in the wood. We love Valspar's Du Jour (7002-6) because it's a creamy off-white with soft orange undertones that pairs beautifully with a variety of wood finishes.

The Spruce Best Home Quiet Green

A neutral green is a lovely choice for a home with wood trim because it feels earthy and woodsy, and plays up the look of organic wood. The Spruce Best Home's Quiet Green (SPR-09) is a muted, soft green that works best with lighter or medium natural wood trim. Use this darker green for an accent wall when your room has dark trim.

Benjamin Moore Iceberg

While many of the best colors to pair with medium to dark wood trim are whites or neutrals, that doesn't mean you can't add in a color, too. Benjamin Moore's Iceberg (2122-50) is a crisp light blue that adds a punch of color to your living space or hallways without darkening the space. This is another color that works beautifully with white should you ever want to lighten your trim.

Magnolia Weathered Windmill

Magnolia's Weathered Windmill is a medium gray with soft green undertones and creates a warm inviting space when paired with natural wood trim. Either medium wood or even dark reddish wood looks lovely next to this foggy gray paint.

Sherwin-Williams Inkwell

Do you think wood trim means you can't paint with a dark color? Sherwin-Williams' Inkwell (SW 6992) dispels the myth. This rich black has just enough blue in it to look almost navy in the right space. It feels incredibly cozy, moody, and undeniably elegant and classic when paired with rich, dark wood trim.
