I have a spec home master bath that’s white. The ceiling is white, the walls are white, the floor is white, the fixtures are white, the vanity is white, the knobs are white, the towel rack is white, the electrical is white, the pleated shade is white, the trim is white.
The toilet paper is not white, which makes it the focal point of the room.
I can’t take it any more. I’m replacing the flooring with vinyl that has a stone look, generally a golden tan/light brown color. I’m painting the walls peach. I’ve selected a valence and throw rugs in shades of light olive and sea foam green, which I think go well with the peach.
So, seriously, given peach walls and green accents, what would be a good color for the trim? Please don’t say white. I think any shade of green would be too opposite for trim against the walls and floors. What would you suggest?

Double the tint formula of the wall color for the trim.

You can pick up the olive color, I think it would be better than the Sea foam.
Maroon. or a natural tone from the floor fleck.
Matters what color theory you want to employ.

Thank you. Maroon or something similar is what I was leaning towards.
Later, though, I gave up on the peach. I finished the room this weekend. The floor is a brownish stone look vinyl. The walls are a cool yellow, that has just a hint of lime. The trim is a pastel lime green. The shower curtain is orange, a scene of a tropical sunset over a sandy beach. The curtain and throw rugs are a medium/dark green that tends to the olive. The towels are yellow and peach. The hole thing has a cool, Caribbean feel, kind of like that Ethan Allen commercial from a while back. I'm very happy with it.
By the way, I installed the vinyl myself and it was quite easy. I would not hesitate to do it again.
Pictures??????
Soon. After the towel bar arrives and is installed. It won't be much to see, it's just a bathroom.

Great,
Sorry I didnt get back sooner, I havent check house in a while, I stay busy over in breaktime.
Its always most important that you like it, and it sounds like you arent afraid of color. I ve done a few Caribbean style rooms, and one whole house.
If you have ever been to Bermuda you know that anything goes... I look back at pics and still cant believe some of the exterior colors.
I think I will take your message and create your bath in 3d studio max so I can check it out.
