We need to paint our baseboards and casings upstairs. I'm looking for a soft creamy color that will go well with several wall colors. Our floors are dark brown.We want all the trim to be paintd the same color for continuity.

Not sure if this helps, but some of my trim is painted Evening White, a Benjamin Moore color. Goes with a lot of the deeper shades. Some of the rest has been done in Acadia White, which is a brighter off-white but also goes with a variety of shades.

Good luck!

We just renovated our kitchen and the color 'Western Acoustic' by Kelly Moore was suggested to us by Jane Powell (she has several bungalow books out). Western Acoustic was once called Kirkland Acoustic but I was told it is the same color. It is a nice creamy white and we plan to use it for all of our trim work. All of the kitchen cabinets and trim are painted in this color. You might also try White Hyacinth from Sherwin Williams, it's part of their Arts & Crafts collection.
Good luck!

Don't mean to toss a wrench in but..... Whites are not in keeping with craftsman style. Colors that draw from nature are where it's at. I cringe at the thought of white walls in a craftsman and you should not under any circumstance paint your baseboards or trim... Just say Noooooooo.

Just my two sense, which might not make sense to you at all : - )

I'll second the suggestion for Sherwin William's White Hyacinth. I just used it for the trim in my second bedroom and have received nothing but compliments on it. It's a nice subtle creamy color that imo, would go well with just about any wall color. I will probably be using it on most of my trim that I don't plan on stripping and staining.

Once again, there are no strict rules.

Our 1926 craftsman bungalow had the trim originally painted an antique white.
