First of all- I love that you are doing contrast trim! Especially if you have heavy molding and trim. And second, IMO, it will be plenty of contrast. These two paint colors have a 20 point differential in their LRVs so that will be a great look! In my review for Benjamin Moore Muslin https://aseasonforhome.com/benjamin-moore-muslin-paint-color-review/ you can see photos of a 18 point differential with contrast trim. In those photos you can see BM White Dove with BM Muslin. This will give a similar effect as the colors you are pairing. Good luck! Please report back!

I am painting my walls alabaster and have heavy molding and trim in my 2 story foyer and hallway. I was leaning towards wool skein for all my molding and trim, do you think that will be enough of a contrast. I was going to choose relaxed khaki but was worried that that maybe too heavy.

In reply to Therese. I am so glad you found this useful! If you take any pictures send them my way! I would love to see how the new trim color works for you.

Thank you for this review, it was very helpful! I have a antique looking faded red brick on foundation, garage, & large front bump-out. We painted the siding Wool skein last year with Relaxed khaki on the shutters & it looks so much better. *When we moved here, the house had taupe siding with purplish undertones and burgundy shutters. We are now getting ready to have the trim painted. Our house faces mostly North(& a little West)so I need a little warmth. Dover white sounds like it will work.
