    I’m planning on using this white in my kitchen (and jojoba in the living room with smokey white trim). If I wanted to use a white trim for the smokey white walls, what white would you recommend? I’m also open to possibly doing a light gray trim for contrast. Thank you!

      Hello Roxanne,
      Thank you for visiting our blog!
      If you wanted a white with enough contrast we recommend Ultra Pure White and for a light gray we suggest Platinum PPU26-11.

      Hope this helps!

      Colorfully Yours,
      Deanna

    I would like to use this to paint the exterior of my house can I pair it with a medium brown for the trim.

    • Deanna Torrez says...

      Hello Ann, thank you for visiting our blog!
      Yes you can absolutely do a brown trim to pair with Smoky White.
      You can take a look at Bear Rug S-G-790, Rave Raisin HDC-MD-13 or Dark Truffle PPU5-19.

      Hope this helps!

      Colorfully Yours,
      Deanna
