But I've figured out a way that takes the pressure off of trying to decide which white paint color is "the" white paint color for trim. In fact, I've done this time and time again in our own house, so today I'm sharing my go-to trim paint color. Come and see ~ ... Read More about My Go-To Trim Paint Color
